INSERT YOUR OWN TITLE HERE!

Hey Everybody, Insert your own title means, you decide the title of this post and what it means to you. You know how as a Christian you have been praying, asking, knocking, seeking and making sure that we have every avenue covered for the things we desire? Well, stop it! What do I mean? God loves us so much, long before we knew what scriptures to quote, long before we knew how to pray effectively, long before we even were born, God loved us and it didn't matter what we did, it could not stop him from loving us. Yes, even thoughs who have not received Jesus as Lord and Saviour, God loves them. He loves them, but he also has to let them make the choice to receive his gift of Jesus or not. We have grown up in a Christian society where we believe that we always have to do something in order for God to do something on our behalf. What an insult that is to God. Do we really think we can work hard enough, pray long enough, minister deep enough to get God to move? Let's really stop a minute and think about what I am saying. Yes, we are to do good, pray, read our bibles, help others, and striving to live clean lives before the Lord. All of this is good. So, what happens to thoughs of God's children who don't pray long enough, work hard enough, or minister deep enough? Does God love them any less? God forbid! By doing this, in our lives we are bringing God down to a level that he never deserved to be on in your lives. I am not saying that God is lowering himself. NO! I am saying that in your mind, you are lowering God to be like you are in your life. God does not need us to pray long, work hard, minister deep. God needs us to love him, worship and adore him, accept everything he has given to us freely. God NEVER, EVER put a price on his Free Gifts to us, but we have set up our lives as if he did. God never gave us a price list in the scriptures. All Father wants from us is to receive his gifts. God's Grace is so amazing. His gifts are without repentance. There is nothing that you can do that would make God stop loving you, his child. If you know how to give good gifts to your children, HOW MUCH MORE does your heavenly Father know how to give good gifts unto his children? For by grace you were saved through faith, it is the gift of God, not of works LEST any man should boast. We came to God belieivng that he is and that the only way to him is through Jesus, and by his grace, his favor, his gift he gave us freely and gave us eternal life through Jesus. So what makes people, after they become Christians think that their works is what will sustain their life? Just a trick of the enemy. If the enemy can keep us striving to work our way through the kingdom, he has stopped the flow to us from God of everything he purposed for us as his children. Everything God provided for us he did out of his love for us. His grace showers us if we will receive it. A friend told me that we can be so busy doing things, or trying to clean ourselves up, or trying to convince others that we have changed that we miss God's grace flow. God's Grace flows all around us daily. Reach out in faith and received it. Then, when we feel as if God didn't answer our prayers, or he didn't give us what we were standing in faith for, or the answer came too late, or (you add your own complaint to this list), then we give up and decide that it's not working for me. Guess what? You are right! It will never work, because God's kingdom is established on his love for us not on how much we can do to get his love. Have you ever tried to earn someone's love? It's a pretty hard thing to do isn't it. Well, God will never make you earn his love. He loved you long before you were ever born. All God is doing is inviting us into his love flow. Just jump in and receive from him. Try this for one day, and watch God. Talk to God about how much he loves you, how his love has kept you. Meditate and thank God for how his love has already done everything that you could ever need, ask or think. Spend a day just receiving God's love without doing your "chore list" of spiritual works to talk to God. Just go to him with a honest heart and let him know that you want his gifts, his favor and that you receive his grace for your life. No confessions of faith, or big introductions. Simply become as a little child, climb up in his lap and cry Abba, Father! Just spend a day accepting God's love, grace, favor, gifts, surprises and blessings. They have been there all along, you just couldn't see them because of all the building blocks you put up along the way. God will never love you any less than any one else. Sometimes it may look that way, but you have to know that you have access to the same blessings as any of your brothers and sisters in Christ. I love you Father, and I thank you today for your gift of grace in my life. I receive your favor and your love for me. I know that there is nothing that I could ever do to make you love me more. You already love me so much and it will never end. God back a fall in love with the Father. Tear down the "works walls" you have built up and just enjoy fellowshipping with the God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. If you really do this, you will never go back to the old way, but you will embrace God's free gifts. Unwrap his love and enjoy him! 2 Corinthians 5:20
