But the loving kindness of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting on those who [reverently] fear Him Psalm 103:17 Holy Bible, Amplified Version
To fear in this instance means to respect. To revere means to respect in awe and means to be lovingly obedient. Therefore you need to give the one in order to receive the other.
Think of it, have you ever given something to someone who is not only ungrateful but demanding?
I find the one goes with the other.
Not only are they ungrateful but they demand more and more while giving you nothing in return. Just ask most parents of adult children and grandparents today and they will tell you how that feels.
How much more is it insulting for you to behave in this disgusting behaviour towards our loving Heavenly Father?
The only time you talk with Him is when you want something from Him. You never say thank you and you never give Him anything in return.
Why would He bless you?
On the other hand, there are the children that are grateful to their parents for their help, are willing to help them and respect them.
Ask any parent of an adult child how it feels to have a child like that. How much more delightful do you think it feels for Jehovah to have such a treasure of a child like that?
Do you not think it brings Him great delight to bless a child like that?
Which one are you?
Be respectful to He who has an everlasting love for you. It came at a great cost. Joseph a son of Jehovah
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Abba (our most loving Father) for blessing me with adopting me into Your Divine family. I relish spending quality time with You my Father, Jesus my big brother and the Holy Spirit my mentor every day. I deeply appreciate Your Heavenly love and You accepting mine. In the greatest acclimation I thank You in my reverential big brothers name Jesus Christ. Amen
May Christ bless you with love, joy and peace today and every day.
