Receiving God's Love

I was blessed this past Sunday with multiplying Hershey's Bars. On Wednesday night I was tell a story about a teenaged crush I had on a particular young lady. I was in seventh grade and she was in eighth. I liked her greatly and overheard her one day say that she liked Hershey's Bars. So....I went to the store and bought one, but could not muster the courage to give it to her as an expression of my undying love. So, I kept the thing for days until I finally decided I had better give it to her before it melted. When I approached her, I simply placed the candy bar on her desk and said, "Here! This is for you." She smiled and ate the candy bar without so much as a thank you (let alone an expression of mutual attraction)!

The point to the story is this. I didn't know how to express my love to her and she didn't know how to receive my love. The moral of the story is this: God knows how to express his love for his children. His children need to learn how to receive His love so they don't miss out on the kindness of God. Why not practice receiving God's love, today?
