Seed for May 16

It is the Lord's good pleasure to give us the Kingdom. It is He that blesses us with blessing. It is He that lifted the curse, and brought us out of darkness into light. I am amazed in those that think they have earned the "blessings" of God. The blessing of God cannot be bought or sold. They are freely given to us by His grace. Grace means that they were not deserved or earned. It is not for something that I have done that God gives me all things pertaining to life and godliness. Nor for anything that I have done that He has made me to sit in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. Jesus became the curse, so that I could enjoy the blessing. I was not there when Adam sold out to Satan, yet I suffered, and I was not there when Jesus bought it all back, and yet I enjoy. So you see the way of the Lord is right. There are those that teach God has blessings on a string. You do good you "earn" a blessing. You do bad and you "earn" a curse. That is not "Good News," and that is not the gospel Paul preached. Jesus said it like this, "Freely you have received, so freely give." That is why I want to share what Jesus has given to me, with you. Be blessed.
