I am in constant need of knowing myself. I am aware of this because I do it every morning, and every morning I am confronted with the me I am and the me I want to be. It mainly focuses on all the free blessings that are mine, seeing, feeling, love, oxygen, earth, warmth, consciousness, and so on. It is primarily aided by reading my Bible. This focuses my attention on two things: God and me. When I am with God, me and Him alone, there is an obvious discrepancy in generosity, He being the ultimate gift giver and I being the receiver. It is uncomfortable, but quickly turns to gratitude, praise, and thanksgiving. It’s just Him and me, so there’s really no other adequate response. Now, you might think of all this foolishness, but every morning, the one thing that is obvious to me is that I do nothing to make or get all these enormous blessings. They’re free… and His kindness is always underscored by his generosity.
