God gives us all what we deserve

#newdaynewchapter is a Blog narrative started on March 1, 2021 co-founded by Kishore Shintre & Sonia Bedi, to write a new chapter everyday for making "Life" and not just making a "living"
To start with God had definitely showering his Grace even for things didn't pray for.Getting up the next day in itself is because of Lord's grace. Similarly there are uncountable things with which God blesses every single day. The other one is praying for things to happen in life. Here is the check. Even after praying heavily for a particular thing, it may not happen as expected. Some things just happen even when not prayed for. It should be understood that the Lord knows what should be done at any particular point in life.Praying for things should be the initiative taken from our end and the rest will be taken care by the Lord.
Well, that's basically the plan of salvation really speaking. All of us are sinners worthy of punishment and death. That's what we deserve. But instead of letting us suffer the consequences of our actions, He sent His beloved Son to take our place, bear our punishment and gives us eternal life which we don't deserve. But that's just how God is. His love is just so pure, true and infinite. Nothing else is so profound.
But when taking my life, personally, I do feel that God has given me way more than I deserve. He has carried me through the toughest times and held me up when I was about to fall. In all aspects He has been there for me. From my education to my family to my moments of fear and nerves which are very frequent since I am not the most confident person out there. There have been difficult times and I've even doubted Him, but He always proved to be faithful in the end.
Things haven't always gone the way I wanted but God has always proven that His plans are better. I can't say that I have stuck by Him as much as He has by me. The words from that beautiful hymn “Come thou fount of every blessing” really resonate with me; “Prone to wander Lord, I feel it, prone to leave the God I love" Nonetheless He has shown me incredible mercy as He does to every one, and it's safe to say I would be nothing without Him. All glory be to God!
Basically we are living under the full support of God, I can feel his mercy and his several givings, but I cant favor my self, nor know whats God had destined for me. If you tried to count Allah’s blessings, you would never be able to number them. Surely Ishwar, Allah, Jesus is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful. And ?on Judgment Day? Allah will say, “O Jesus, son of Mary! Did you ever ask the people to worship you and your mother as gods besides Allah?” He will answer, “Glory be to You! How could I ever say what I had no right to say? If I had said such a thing, you would have certainly known it. You know what is ?hidden? within me, but I do not know what is within You. Indeed, You ?alone? are the Knower of all unseen.
I do, like I have mentioned before I didn’t have it easy growing up, but having Jesus in my corner, makes it all worthwhile. Jesus gives me eternal life, which is something that I could never achieve on my own, and that is most definitely more than I deserve !!!! I’m being fairly pragmatic about having been born separate from God and that He has a right to leave me there. It seems a being such as me is helpless, basically. Add in my faults and yes I believe that by receiving grace and a secure future I have all the blessings one could need and much more than I deserve. Yes definitely and the more mature I grow in faith the more unworthy I feel for all His benefits to me, I know they are purely by His grace and mercy and there is nothing I have done that deserves them.
God will help you to save yourself. Your journey on Earth is full of challenges you chose to further your understanding. God is there to support you but to benefit fully you need to ask for help. Don’t just expect it to be there. In many ways you have a very practical life to live here, but God is there throughout. The reward grows immensely when you are serving God by serving the world in some way. This journey is definitely not all about your development. It also includes playing a positive role in the world, and when you do it will also benefit you and your future development. Cheers!
My mom’s quote God grants what you DESERVE AND not what you DESIRE BUT you attempt and take step to deserve that desire, he will lift you to that

3 年I can feel and sense the authenticity of the words you’ve written here. The way you understand my poems, The way you express about so many stages of life in your own posts, conveys the gratitude you have for him and the level of your consciousness of “oneness” and “nothingness” Baba…??

3 年Sometimes God uses your struggles to help others who are also struggling. We are are here to serve God. Once god has taken your sins away that is when the real friendship with God begins . He may not give you what you ask for , but will give you something better or it will come in His season , not your season. All too often , people only look to God when they need help . Praising and honoring God everyday brings many blessings onto yourself , for God giveth freely . Thank you ??
