Receive God’s Gifts

If you are willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land. —Isaiah 1:19

What good is it to have a glass of water, if we won’t drink it? Our thirst will not be quenched until we do. Jesus said, “If any man is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink!” (John 7:32). He said that if we have any kind of need, we are to ask Him for what we want, and then receive it. The good things of God are available to those who simply surrender themselves to Him and accept His blessings and mercy.

People beg God for forgiveness but forget to say, “I receive that forgiveness right now; I believe I am forgiven.” Mercy is a free gift. You can’t earn it, you can’t deserve it, and you can’t buy it. The only thing you can do is receive it. Just humble yourself, and accept God’s forgiveness.

From the book Starting Your Day Right by Joyce Meyer.

Like this, so often we ask, and forget to receive. We keep asking for the same thing, often not realizing it has been answered, especially if it isn't the answer we want.

Forgiveness is always there, and as it says, we have to accept it. I had a problem with forgiving myself.
