God is very happy with you.

Why is God so happy with you? First of all, you have to realize that God is happy with you. He absolutely delights in you, but why? I mean, yes, there are times when we do things right that He could be proud of, but most of the time we’re just us. Is that enough to make God delighted in us?

The key to this is the blood of Jesus. When we receive salvation through Christ, God sees us through the blood of redemption. That means that He sees us with all the sin and pride and anger stripped away. He sees us as being perfect, right now.

God sees us with all the gifts and talents and destiny that He put in us. And His work is perfect, so what He created in us is perfect. Our job is to line up with what’s already in us. On earth as it is in heaven. It’s not as hard as you think it is.

Allow God to clean out all the bad attitudes. Confess your sins. Forgive people, all of them. Keep forgiving them. Ask God to fill you with the good attitudes of His Spirit. Over time, He will do a make over that is amazingly transforming — because He loves you. He’s very happy with you and wants you to be happy too.

Want to know how to attract blessing? Go after God. Be hungry be thirsty to know Him. You have to realize that even the best teachers are only touching the tip of the iceberg. There is so much more of God to discover. He has depths and heights to reveal to those who want to go there.

How to attract blessing

He absolutely delights in us and loves our pursuit of Him. When you cry out like David: O God, You are my God; Early will I seek You; My soul thirsts for You; My flesh longs for You in a dry and thirsty land where there is no water. (Ps 63:1)

God will answer: For I will pour water on him who is thirsty, and floods on the dry ground. (Isa 44:3)

He will respond to us with the same intensity that we pursue Him. Every time you ask to go closer, He will open heaven and draw you in. And until you do that, you have no idea what the blessing of His presence can be. He will give understanding where you need it. He will teach you in the scriptures. He will give you grace and peace that you can give away.

The thirstier you are, the more He will pour out. Jesus said you would never thirst again. (Jhn 6:35)

God loves us when we feel unlovable.

God’s love is amazing in His capacity to love us, even when we feel unlovable. We expect Him to love everyone because He is God, but when it comes to ourselves, we sometimes don’t think He has it in Him to love us. We are very aware of the problems and flaws we see in the mirror everyday. Some can’t even bear to look in the mirror for fear of what they know they’ll see.

But God sees and knows as well, and He still loves. He doesn’t chide or reprimand. He saves, heals, and delivers. His heart is to be in a love fest with us. If you don’t feel that, it’s because you have built walls to keep Him out. That’s the worst idea in the world. Start the conversation with Him now and get those walls down.

You may need to confess some things and get them out of your life. You may need to forgive people. It may not be easy, but the walls must come down. Ask God to help you with each step. Be open to people He may send in your life to help the process. He wants to see you happy and full of joy.

No matter how bad you think you are, you can’t change the love that God has for you. Just get used to it. It’s wonderful.

It’s time to get real.

It’s time to cross over. We can’t hold back any longer. God is compelling us to Himself. We have to go, to run to Him with open arms like a little child running to Daddy. The draw is too great to resist. His wooing is overwhelming. It’s time to get real.

Look, He is reaching out, ready to take hold of our hands as soon as we move toward Him. See His smile! The look in His eyes! He is God who loves us, who adores us. Who can resist His call?

It’s time to stop knowing about Him and start living in Him. It’s time to be who we’ve been called to be–children of the Most High God. The time for playing church is over. The time to love and be loved is now. It’s time to live in community with each other, in honor and respect and kindness.

Open up your heart, completely. You can’t hold anything back. He sees it all anyway, just give it to Him. Let Him pour in life and love and wonder. He is God who is amazing, powerful, and fun. Refuse and you lose everything — everything. Receive and live like you’ve never lived before. It’s time to be who you are meant to be. There’s a world to change.

find hidden treasures when you press into God

It is the glory of God to conceal a matter, but the glory of kings is to search out a matter. (Prov 25:2) There He goes, hiding things from us. What’s with that? You’d think that God would want everything about Him to be clear and easy to understand. But it turns out that God likes us to dig to find hidden treasures.

Jesus always said, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.” I think that really means, he who really wants to know, go after it. The disciples got their questions answered because they followed Him around and pressed Him for clarity. We should do the same thing.

He is not holding back blessing and answers, He’s waiting for us come closer, to go deeper to get it. How badly do you want more of God? Answers to prayer? Deeper revelation? It will all depend on how close your communion time with Him is. That can look any way that works for you, as long as you hear Him and He hears you.

It will be your glory and blessing to uncover what He has set aside for you. And it has nothing to do with anyone else or what they say or do. It’s up to you. There are hidden treasures and revelations to be had if you dig in. It sounds totally worth it to me.
