It is human nature to be greedy, and to want more
than we should. But our efforts to
overcome this element of our nature can at times conflict with the blessings
the Lord offers us. On the one hand, it
is greedy and unthankful to demand certain blessings from the Lord. On the other hand, it is likewise prideful and
unthankful to not accept the full measure of blessings offered by the Lord. If we demand what the Lord does not offer, we
offend Him. If, on the other hand, He
offers us something we likewise offend Him not to take advantage to the fullest
extent our mortal capacity allows us to. His blessings for us will not run out, because
we receive too much. When the Lord gives
us arrows to beat the ground, may we beat and beat until the arrows are broken
and the ground has become a hole.
