THERE IS A TIME OF ABUNDANCE in your life. Your cup runneth over with blessings. After plodding uphill for many weeks, you are now traipsing through lush meadows drenched in warm sunshine. I want you to enjoy to the fullest this time of ease and refreshment. I delight in providing it for you.
Sometimes My children hesitate to receive My good gifts with open hands. Feelings of false guilt creep in, telling them they don’t deserve to be so richly blessed. This is nonsense-thinking, because no one deserves anything from Me. My kingdom is not about earning and deserving; it’s about believing and receiving.
When a child of Mine balks at accepting My gifts, I am deeply grieved. When you receive My abundant blessings with a grateful heart, I rejoice. My pleasure in giving and your pleasure in receiving flow together in joyous harmony.
Psalm 23:5 KJV Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

I will sing to my Lord as long as I live, I will sing
praise to my God while I have my being.
We can not earn, create or duplicate God’s gifts. The good news is that all we have to do is believe and receive. But even this is not easy. The world around us presents a false illusion of separation from God. We must overcome this through faith and following God’s will. Then we can fully enjoy God’s gift as we live in the Eden God created for us.
Just believe,

This observation from a gardener.
“The gifts are indeed generous, though all these cups running over can make things untidy.
Guess there’s some meaning there on God’s part.”
