Romans 2:4amp “Or are you [so blind as to] trifle with and presume upon and despise and underestimate the wealth of His kindness and forbearance and long-suffering patience? Are you unmindful or actually ignorant [of the fact] that God's kindness is intended to lead you to repent (to change your mind and inner man to accept God's will)?”
It is quite human to feel deserving when you earn from your labour and resourcefulness and somewhat awkward when you receive gifts on a sustained and continuous basis.
There is the possibility to feel embarrassed and insecure when the gift goes beyond your reasonable comfort level to a level of extravagance because you begin to ask yourself questions like “why me,” “isn’t this too much” etc.
You should have realized by now that God does not hinge His goodness on your faithfulness neither does He turn you down when you call because of your failings.
What we must not forget is that it’s His goodness that leads us to change the way we think and act. We tend to reverse that verse and live our lives thinking that change leads us to His goodness.
You must learn not to reject His goodness and strive to keep yourself positioned under it.
When you receive His grace, you will never disqualify yourself from the inheritance and benefits with which He satiates your soul.
Glory!
