The more you trust God the
more you will be given out of His bounty and His love. He is THE GIVER and He
is a very generous Giver, He loves to give and He is giving even Himself in the
Sacrament of the Body and Blood. He is the Generous Giver and the most precious
Gift. And you will never be able to embrace the generosity and the beauty of
this Gift. The whole eternity will be not enough to reach the end of this Gift.
But once you stop to trust,
once you start to trust yourself or anything, or anybody else .... He retires
because He cannot compete with any other things or person, who is only His
creation. There is no competition between the Creator and the creation. So the
basic attitude toward God is the attitude of full, absolute trustfulness,
childlike attitude of trust, honesty and faith.
Unhappily so many people even
Catholics are rejecting this attitude because of the mentality of
"immediate gratification", or selfishness ... They don't trust God,
because they cannot reject the substitutes of happiness, the ersatz of good,
the appearances of value.
And this is why they are not
able to receive all the treasures God prepared for them because their heart is
full of junk, and there is no place for God's far more precious gifts.
And this is the sad, very sad
reality of so many contemporary people. They are running and searching and they
are constantly unhappy, non-satisfied, restless and they don't know why ...
What is blocking any kind of
help is the boastful attitude of pride expressed in the conviction "I know
better what is good and what is not good for me. Even God will not dictate me
what is good and what is evil!"
This is a kind of
self-condemnation, because even God is not able to pierce, to penetrate this
kind of shield ...
