We can often see God portrayed in the world as a harsh and conservative figure who only blesses those who are ‘religious’ and the ‘good ones’. But God’s hand of blessing stretches out so much further.
Sometimes it is hard to connect our faith with the promises of God because how we perceive ourselves. We can be our harshest critic. But friend, we can’t comprehend how much He wants to bless us with because… wait for it… He likes us. At first I didn’t understand this when a friend was sharing this concept from a sermon that she heard but then it clicked- He likes us and when you like someone you do things for them ‘just because’.
I was praying at work when the Holy Spirit stirred this in my spirit and when it happened my prayers went from being half-hearted to full of faith! God isn’t a God that wants to hold back blessings and gifts! He loves us and likes us and wants to give to us! No matter my faults He still likes me! When I understood this I started praying with boldness because… GOD LIKES ME AND WANTS TO BLESS ME!
He likes you too! Don’t spend another minute without knowing how much God truly and unashamedly loves you. He wants to spend time with you show you that you are worth every blessing. Jesus didn’t die in vain for us not to understand the full amount of His adoration for us.
2 Corinthians 9:8
And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.
