The Mystery of Gift—the devil is after your gifts.

How?
This is one strange or uncommon way, unknown to most people.
Let's start with this:

To You, you are not worthy of the gift,
To the Gift, it is worthy of you,
To the Giver, you are worthy of the gift!

Why is gift called "gift"?
If it is something you laboured for, it already an entitlement or wages, not a gift.
It is your right, then it no longer a gift.

The Giver of all spiritual gifts and blessings found us worthy despite of our shortcomings.
As He looked at all mortals, He knew YOU by name, though we might say, "who am I?"
Well, do you want to know?
You are God's favourite son/daughter!

Another thing!
A gift is not forced on anyone.
When it is given, it is freely given and freely received by the recipient.
When the recipient refuses to accept because of a feeling of unworthiness and suchlikes, the Giver leaves it hanging there until a set time.

Not that God has not blessed us; He has blessed us from the very beginning when He sent Jesus to us.

Eph.1:3,"Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. In Christ, God has given us every spiritual blessing in heaven."

He has given us every spiritual blessings in heaven...can you see that? Every thing in heaven! Praise God!

But, the devil wants us to go against Verse 4:

Eph 1:4,"In Christ, he chose us before the world was made. He chose us in love to be his holy people—people who could stand before him without any fault."

See this!

In Christ, God blesses us, and
In Christ, God chose us to stand before him without any faults.

That is where the devil is working on!

He wants you to flee before God because of feeling of unworthiness!
A slight feeling of unworthiness will frustrate the Grace of God in a Christian's life and make the good work done on the cross be in vain in that life!

This has made people far from God and His gifts!
I stop here!

Think,
Pray,
Watch,
Don't let the devil take your gifts and blessings, by your own hands — your making!
Because he is going to stand before God too, and say, "God, I didn't force him/her, I only told him/her that he/she is not worthy...that is all..."
