better than you deserve?

Do you want to get what you deserve? Would you want to get what you deserved if you realized that you were already getting better than you deserved? In that case getting what you deserve would be a step down. An entitlement mentality causes you to grasp for your due. My word teaches you gratitude rather than entitlement. It asks what you have that you did not receive, and the implied answer is nothing. If you can understand this then you can receive it with joy and thanksgiving, and release your grasping. Blessed are those who know that they are already receiving my blessing and favor.
