I’ve come to better appreciate three realizations in the last few months.
- I really can’t achieve a “life to the full” (John 10:10) on my own. I need God.
- A life to the full really can’t be achieved through a formula with God…only through an intentional intimacy with the Father.
- I really love that this is truth and yet, at the same time, I’m struggling with this reality.
- To have each and every blessing given to you as an unwarranted, unmerited, unearned gift for no other reason than His immense love for you.
- To have each and every blessing given to you because of your effort, hard work, and goodness and to be given only after you have met His requirements for each one.
- A little bit of both.
- Father, where am I resenting Your generosity?
- What are the lies I’ve believed about who You are and how You see me?
- Father, where has my faith turned into entitlement?
- What lies have I believed about Your generosity?
- Father, how do You want me to receive from You?
