When blessings come your way

God readily gives blessings to His children.  There is nothing more loving for a Father to do than to provide for His children.  God loves to give His children blessings.  All our needs are answered by God.  God's grace abounds.  It is up to us to get them.  It is up to us to welcome them.  We have so much and God is giving us so much.  If only we would open ourselves to Him.  Sometimes, a guilty heart closes to God.  Sometimes, when we are bad we couldn't see the shining God's grace.  We have to avoid these blocks to blessings for we cannot enjoy God's good relationship with us if we have them.  It is not good and so God cannot enter into our lives.  Blessings from God are bountiful.  We just have to open ourselves to Him.

We have needs.  And the Father wants to give us more.  The Father because He is our Father wants to give us everything we need.  When we are hungry, we have food.  When we are thirsty, we have drink.  When we are cold, we have blankets and jackets and warm clothing and warm house.  When we are sick, we have medicines.  When we need love, there is our mother or father.  We have our relatives and family.  We have our friends and associates.  When we need to feel there are other people to surround us.  Everything that we need the Father provides for us. 

But what if we need and there doesn't seem enough?  What if when we are hungry there is no food?  If we are sick, there is no medicine?  When we need love, there is nobody.  God wants you to trust in Him.  Reach out and there will be blessings.  Reach out and there will be love.  Reach out and there will be somebody.  We just need to trust.  We need to have faith in Him.  We need to believe.  That God will provide.  That God will give our needs.

The flowers are much greatly dressed than the garments of the kings and queens.  The animals and the birds do not worry about the food to eat.  For God provides for them.  He does.  And He does because He loves us.  He created the world for us.  And all its goodness.  And all its richness.

Why worry?  You are His child.  How much more does He care for His children.  Sometimes, we just need to understand some things that He wants to teach us to understand why sometimes His blessings seem to be delayed.  The food is on the table.  Why should you not feel like getting some or all that you wanted if it is freely given by the Father?  Is it because you don't feel you deserve?  Is it because you are uncomfortable with it?  Is it because of guilt?  Is it because you feel you're not ready?  Remember, you are God's child.  You get hungry and you need to get food from the table.  Receive God's love for you.  Receive His providence.

Life is much a happy experience when we welcome all that God gives us.  He wants us to be filled.  He wants us to enjoy.  Have our heart's content.  Blessings come in the form of food or water, houses, clothing, friends and family, and spiritual blessings such as peace, love, courage, wisdom, happiness, fortitude, humility.  Receive God's gifts.  And live a full life.  It isn't just all about money.  It is about love.  And it is about God.  And about you.  Your relationship together.  The life that you live in the world for Him.  What have you got to offer Him back.  For all the blessings.  Maybe it is an exchange.  That you want to give back to God something for the blessings that He gives to you.  Give Him all you've got in exchange for the blessings.  It is a wonderful relationship with Him.  And be thankful.  Be open.  Be open to His love.
