1 Corinthians 2:12
12Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God. |
As a child of the Most
High God, God wants you to know the things that have been freely given to you.
He wants you to receive them freely although it cost Him His Son. He paid the
price, but He wants you to receive the blessings freely. That is His love toward
you.
Perhaps you are asking
God, “How is it that I don’t have this blessing? And why do I have so little of
that?”
I believe that He is
saying this to you: “What do you lack, My child? Health? Take it! It has been
paid for with the life of My Son.
“Do you need peace of
mind? My Son wore the crown of thorns on His head to give it to you. Take it!
“Lack wisdom? Take My
wisdom!
“Need victory? Victory
is not something you attain. It is a gift to be received. Take it!
“Take My prosperity!
Take My favor! Every time you come into My Presence, take, and take some more!”
God, your heavenly
Father, wants you to receive like the prodigal son, who deserved nothing, but
received everything. (Luke 15:11–24) God delights in giving freely. And He
delights in you receiving freely because it shows that you value and appreciate
His Son’s sacrifice.
You miss it when you are
busy trying to earn what has been freely given to you, when you think that you
must do more for God to bless you, or that you must pay the price for it. God
cannot give it to you based on your works because if it is by works, it is no
longer by grace. When you try to work for it, you frustrate the grace of God
and make light of Jesus’ work at Calvary.
My friend, the days of
trying, striving and earning are over. The days of take, take and take more
have come. Take and you will bring pleasure to God’s heart!
