Why do we always thank God and/or Jesus for blessing us “more than we deserve”? It may be true that we may feel undeserving or even be “undeserving”, but God’s love is unconditional. Would we say to our parents, “Thank you for loving me more than I deserve”? Of course, not.
When we say that God, Jesus, or anyone loves or blesses us more than we deserve, we are missing the point of love and grace. We are self-depreciating and denying the true nature of God. Love and blessing are not administered on the basis of what one deserves. If we believe God loves or blesses us conditionally, then we are likely to be conditional with how we love and bless. If we believe God’s love and blessing is conditional, then why are we not always grateful? If we believe that God wants any less for us or that we deserve less than God wants for us, we have already found our hell.
Be your best today; be better tomorrow.
