“Go ahead, beg God to be merciful to you! \u00a0But when you bring that kind of offering, why should he show you any favor at all? asks the Lord Almighty”\u00a0 (Malachi 1:9 NLT).<\/em><\/p>\n

I see it almost every day in the lives of those wanting God’s blessing, but not willing to give up themselves and their desires.\u00a0 I hear it repeatedly in prayer requests and the ho-hum attitudes of those stating, “Well, I know what I should be doing, but….”\u00a0 I experience friends and family members who would love nothing more that God’s richest offerings in their lives, but they continue to allow sin to block the blessings.<\/p>\n

Want to live the fullest and most rewarding life available to you? \u00a0Give up the sins that are barriers between you and God.\u00a0 Want to live a life that reaps bounty and blessings, if not in this life, then in the one to come? \u00a0Separate yourself from evil desires and ungodly ways.<\/p>\n

Need mercy? \u00a0Need grace? \u00a0Need strength? \u00a0Need peace? \u00a0Then make sure there’s nothing, nothing at all, blocking the relationship between you and God.<\/p>\n
