When you go down to the seashore, you find what is practically an unlimited supply of sea water at your disposal. There are billions upon billions of gallons there, but the amount that you can carry away will depend upon the vessel with which you have provided yourself. If you take a ten-gallon can, you can get ten gallons, but if you take only a pint pot you can take away only a pint, and if you have nothing bigger than a thimble, you would not be able to take away more than a thimbleful.
So it is with divine abundance. The only limit is the limit of our capacity to receive.
Thou openest thine hand, and satisfiest the desire of every living thing (Psalm 145:16).
Just as we are the only things that can limit ourselves, we are the only ones who can limit what we receive from God. Will we present an open hand to God’s grace and bounty or a raised fist that is closed in anger, bitterness or another destructive attitude? The choice is ours. The way is clear. We must accept God’s will and believe God’s word. In our hearts, minds and actions, we must live and love as God instructs us. Then all God’s love and joy will find a way into our lives and we will be able to recognize and live in the Eden God created for us.
