Let's receive our gift!

HOLLY B. SUHI

In order to have and appreciate a gift, we must first reach out to accept it from the giver. If we neglect to take the package that is offered, we will not know or be able to enjoy what is inside!

God is continually giving us the gift of His infinite love. Are we reaching out wholeheartedly and gratefully to accept it? When we do this, we receive evidence of God's love in our lives. If we have been struggling with an unyielding problem, perhaps we need to hold out our hand to the love that is continually blessing us. There is no power able to prevent God from imparting His love to, in, and through us.

We need to stop doubting that we are loved. To have Love's work appear, we need to receive—to accept as true about ourselves—the fact that we are lovable. This is a gift we can accept and acknowledge right now. The spiritual fact is and always will be that as God's offspring we have always been deserving of His blessings. God cherishes us. He approves of His creation. There isn't anything we can do (or have ever done) to alter that.
