It is fun to give to your children, isn't it?  It is delightful to see their joy when we bless them.  Now that is how our Heavenly Father feels about giving to us.

But what does He want to give us?  Many loudly declare money and stuff!

Wrong.

You can't love God and money.  The love of money is the root of all evil.  Why would God want to load us down with something that competes with our love for Him and provokes us to evil if we love it?   No.  God doesn't want to spoil us like rich kids.  However, he does want to supply our material needs.

However, God really gets into to giving us the kingdom.  What's that?  Jesus continually refers to "the kingdom of God."  A kingdom is where a king rules and reigns. 

Okay then.  What does God take pleasure in giving us?  His rulership!  He delights to rule over us. 

The greatest gift for an airplane is a pilot.  If it is to function according to its design, a car desperately needs the gift of a driver.  You and I have an urgent need.  We need a Lord, an absolute ruler and master. 

Self wants to be our Lord.  Sin wants to rule us.  Demons want to drive us.  In the midst of all the enemies that want to destroy us, the King says "I enjoy giving you the kingdom -- my rule." 

Why?  Like an airplane or a car, we can never achiever our purpose or potential without a driver.  Only one person in the Universe can properly drive us.  That is God.  He wants to give us the kingdom so that He can direct us to an amazing life of love, worship, and sacrifice both here and here after.

Will you let God have fun?  Will you humbly repent of going against His will and allow Him to be your Lord -- your absolute Master?  The kingdom of God is at hand.  Will you enter in?
