The blessings of God are the manifestation of His marvelous grace and are greatly desired by all of us. But Christians everywhere have needs and desires that are unfulfilled even though they know from the bible, that our heavenly Father loves us and is most desirous of blessing us;
"exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think" Ephesians 3:20. and yet, most of us settle for a bare minimum of the blessings God has stored up for us. Why is that? The answer is best exemplified in children.
A teenager that has not learned to love and respect his parents has only a surface relationship with them that sometimes becomes hostile-there is very little communication between them. Without communication, there is very little guidance for a young person that is not capable of living life successfully.
The parents can put a roof over his head and food in his mouth-things that are necessary for anyone, but that is where his blessings end. without communication, that teenager receives no wisdom or guidance or character training-things that are necessary to live life successfully.
The above statement is probably how we all have come up in life of some sort of way, until we learn to take his yoke upon us to live by faith.
Love always, Walter
