She would say to my sister and I, "It's just as wonderful to receive a gift graciously as it is to give graciously." <BR/><BR/>God gave and because of His grace, I receive. So thankful for the Gift and the Giver.<BR/><BR/>Enjoy your new gift,<BR/>Happy New Year,<BR/>JoyJoyfulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00010498759199040612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7134116388719375338.post-16276662136418040592008-12-27T00:48:00.000-05:002008-12-27T00:48:00.000-05:00Julie,This is absolutely beautiful!

The first time God lavished me with an over the top gift, I wept for hours. <BR/><BR/>Your words are so true about receiving. I had a hard time with receiving in my past. Praise the Lord that He has shown me I'm worthy to receive. It's an amazing, awesome experience to receive sacrificial gifts. <BR/><BR/>My heart is rejoicing with you over your new laptop!

Part of me...Extravagant love is so hard to receive. Part of me wants so much to receive it, to believe it is possible, but then so much of me can only focus on my own unworthiness, and indeed, not wanting to burden anyone.<BR/><BR/>I love how you talked about how love is sacrificial. Jesus' love for me was sacrificial. And He actually found me worth it. Instead of trying to understand it or make sense of it, I need to start just receiving it.<BR/><BR/>Enjoy your new laptop, my friend! And enjoy receiving all of the love He wants to lavish on you!Kimberlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07534550649815409116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7134116388719375338.post-89803900001779222372008-12-26T20:53:00.000-05:002008-12-26T20:53:00.000-05:00I am so happy for you.

I tend to think practically and about the cost. Over the past 5years the Lord has been dealing with me in the area of receiving lavish, outrage love - from Him and others. <BR/><BR/>Thank you for sharing your gift with us... and your victory!Marshahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07476239476912894265noreply@blogger.com
