Are you talking about the common cold? Smallpox (which is now history due to the World Health Organization)? SARS? The ebola virus? Multiple Sclerosis? Muscular Dystrophy? Rheumatoid arthritis? Alzheimer's disease? What have we done to deserve such favors from God?

One could ask what our own children what they have done to deserve their game boys or their toys, or the extra things that we buy them or give them. The answer is the same with God as it is with our own children. We are God's children and just as we love our children, He loves us. Love shouldn't be conditional upon something we do, nor should it be earned. Love should be given freely as Christ gave His life for us. So, what did we do to deserve favors from God? NOTHING, we are His creations. He is the artist and we are the canvas. Just as we frame our art work, God is framing His by giving us 'favors.' Remember that when we love each other we are doing what God wants, and thus acting as if we deserve favors from God.

Good! Good! He gave me the worst deal out of all mankind. Last night I came home to find my wife in bed with another woman. The woman was my neighbor that shot my dog, and slashed my tires the night before. Then today, I woke up with a headache, so I went to the drug store for aspirin. On the way home, I was mugged, and stabbed. Then at the hospital that treated the stab wounds, I found that my headache was cancer. If he has been kind to others, then he must hate me. Now I can't wait until the 6 months my Dr. gave me are up, so I can go kick god in his disrespectful balls.

What have we done? Nothing! But God is just like that. Full of love and patience, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.

Matthew 5:44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; 45 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.

1 John 4:9 In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. 10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

God is very good to us. I think I've done some good deeds to deserve his favors, but I think him for what he does, and what he has done for me. I wouldn't be here today without his Holy Spirit, which is here upon earth. So let's THANK God for everyday our heart beats, and when we breath a breathe of fresh air.

Yes He is!! Nothing, and that is why it is so great. You are so Blessed to understand the Love that He has for you. As you can see by the response so many give, they don't understand His Love. Praise God, that he has revealed himself to you! Now imagine how much greater it will be when that love is magnified and unresisted in Heaven.

God has been so good to me. He has blessed me in so many ways and I don't deserve it. I thank him for everything in my life good and bad. He is the master of all things. He is so good.
