Everybody wants God to bless them. If a mass murderer were given a slice of sanity, he too would ask God to bless his hand! Think about it.

The problem is when we get blessed in some earthly fashion having been on the bottom, nothing more than a walking pile of Dung, we lose something incredibly precious when we receive what we call a blessing.

What could we lose that’s worth more than all the riches in the world combined? We lose our God blessed position of suffering in this world for his namesake. Now we’re happy but is that a happiness that could compete with the happiness a person finds in Jesus while in their lowest times? Isn’t the fragrance of Thanksgiving in times of need far more suitable for God‘s throne?

Let every person do as they see fit in all of this. Let the glory of God in grace be forever brilliantly explosive. Everyone will receive the truth. (Be careful what you wish for. Let God grant us the sanity to see the difference).
