“He who did not spare [even] His own Son, but gave Him
up for us all, how will He not also, along with Him, graciously give us all
things?”
Romans 8:32 Amplified
Here are some questions to ponder –
How much of a blessing does God want to pour out on
you?
Is God miserly?
Do you see God like Ebenezer Scrooge?
If so, do you see Him as the ‘before’ or ‘after’ Scrooge?
I mean no disrespect at all too God, rather I want us
to understand that how we view Him can very surely impact how we receive from
Him.
We are not likely to ask, or expect, much of a stingy
father.
But one whom we know loves us and wants to bless us
abundantly?
From that
Father we will ask, expect and receive!
There is no shortage of promises and examples of Gods’
rich and abundant love for us and of His clear desire to bless His children.
You need not look any further than when He sent His
Son!
Yeah, but!
This is where we like to insert the disclaimers, the ‘conditions’
and the ‘to do’s’
Don’t get me wrong, sometimes God will attach
conditions but I think too often we more quickly gravitate to the conditions
than we do to the grace and blessing of God.
It’s as if we don’t really enjoy the blessings because
we are too busy waiting for God to drop the hammer on us!
But as the song writer so accurately said:
“You’re a good, good Father!”
