1 Corinthians 2:12
12 Now 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!
