- I don't deserve all the good things in life. Do I?
Sure you do. Why not?
- Because I am far less deserving than all the others out there.
And what makes you think He is giving you more while not blessing the more deserving?
- Because that is what I see when I look around.
The problem with us is, we fidget our pockets, take out the guilt lens, wear it and view the world according to it. The One that you repent to feeling guilty is the One who is also Just. When being guilty for all the good things in life, while feeling undeserving of His blessings, you are doubting His Grandeur.
How do we then accept His Favors?
First by correcting the question in our mind. It is not His favors. Calling them "favors" is by default assuming that we can repay those good things. "favors" can be repaid or at least tried to be repaid. Can you ever? We can never. Those are not His Favors. They are His Blessings. We perhaps are not eligible for good things if we limit His Kingdom to Justice. But beyond just being Just, He is Grand. He is Generous. He is Merciful.
How do you then expect Him to give you any less in your life?
He blesses you with pain, with anguish, with yearning to make you more confident in Love. He blesses you with good things and a sensitivity to sense how blessed you are. Not because He wants you to feel guilty. But perhaps because He wants you to spread your blessings. You feeling blessed right now? Go hug somebody. Share the vibe. Give somebody hope. Say a little prayer for them. Its called Magic.
So how we then show Gratitude towards His Blessings?
By trusting Him. By accepting His gift.
By making the Blessings work for you in life.
By serving the Blessings.
By being the Magic through His Blessings.
By being who He wants you to be.
By fulfilling the reason why He blessed you.
By simply, being Blessed and praying the same for the rest.
