The Gift of Receiving

Have the LORD ever told you something and you were like, "No, no Lord, it's okay." 0_o..............

I can just imagine God, (I mean the God who created this entire universe) saying,

"Son, Daughter, I want to give you a car or a house or a husband not because of anything you've done but because I love you and you are mature enough now to handle it" 
and then here we are in all our human-ness, "Ummm God, I know you want to give me this car/house/husband BUT it's okay, (insert  lame reason here)" 
Or worse yet have God ever presented the gift to you face-to-face like God moved on a person heart to give you that $40 that you've been believing him for but because it didn't happen the way you thought it should or the person that came to you was too young or someone you would never expect so you couldn't receive it?
In God's Kingdom all His citizens are givers, they are generous because they are abundantly supplied for. Why? Because their King (God) is generous and abundantly supplies them. THERE IS NO NEED IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD. EVERYTHING IS SUPPLIED FOR.
I believe a lot of mature Christians in the faith do have the gift of GIVING down pact. They got that piece. They are cheerful givers, they love to give to others, they share with the poor, to support ministry financially and any other ways but when the table flipped and they are in the receiving end for any reason all of a sudden we have a problem.
A lot of  us think of it as an act of humility; rejecting what is offered. "No, no keep your $40 you may need it." Many of us think that it's good manner. You have to always do this little word dance when someone offers something even if we already know our answer in our hearts. "It's okay I will pay for lunch." "No, no let me pay I invited you" "No, it's okay. I just want to bless you. I will pay." "Well, go ahead if you want to pay." 
Why can't we just RECEIVE from God and men. Why do we have to always make it harder than it is. I think one of the major reason is a little/big thing call pride hiding behind "false humility". Many of us know how to spot pride when it's in our face, when a person is blatantly arrogant or prideful, but pride has different faces. And not being able to RECEIVE what God has for you is another form of pride. Humility is being able to RECEIVE when God has given you something or someone.
So like any relationship it will get pretty frustrating if the person giving all the time always had to force the other person to receive something. The giver would probably not be so willing to give a gift anymore.
Well, I want God to show me how to properly receive when He send me something whether it be a physical, financial, emotional, or spiritual blessing. I want to be able to say LORD I receive it and I thank you for it.
Be Blessed! <3
