[1 John 3:16-17] 16We know what real love is because Jesus gave up his life for us. So we also ought to give up our lives for our brothers and sisters. 17If someone has enough money to live well and sees a brother or sisterf in need but shows no compassion—how can God’s love be in that person?
Christ has given us so much, but some of us aren't willing to give much, if anything at all. Some of us are so selfish with blessing that were given to us that we aren't willing to be a blessing to someone else.
But the only reason you were blessed is so that you could be a blessing? Do you not know that God knew that you would, at some point in your life, encounter someone that needed to experience mercy and He thought of you to be that vessel to operate on His behalf? But in order for you to be a useful vessel He had to bless you.
But the awesome thing is that He blessed you because He believed He could trust you. What happens when God can no longer trust you? What happens you stop being thankful but become boastful?
Now here you are thinking that it was you and your own abilities that made you so great.
