Opening Your Heart to God’s Favor

What exactly is the favor of God? How do you receive God’s favor? Is it possible to “live” in the favor of God? Can you be a child of God, a Christian, and NOT live in His favor?

The dictionary describes favor as Approval, Support, Kindness, Esteem, and even Unfair Partiality.

If I asked you, do you want God’s approval? His support? His blessing? What about His kindness, esteem, and unfair partiality? I believe your answer would be, “YES!” Of course I do! We all do!

But the sad truth is that most people don’t live in a place of God’s favor. And many live their lives outside the favor of God not really understanding what the favor of God is or how to receive it.

Understanding how the favor of God works is one of the most important lessons you can learn in life. But if you don’t understand God’s character, you won’t understand His favor.

God is not some cosmic being far out in the universe, disengaged from the cares and concerns of your life. He loves you. He cares about you. And He can be as close to you as the breath you breathe.

Luke 11:11-13 says,

“Now suppose one of you fathers is asked by his son for a fish; he will not give him a snake instead of a fish, will he? " Or if he is asked for an egg, he will not give him a scorpion, will he? If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him?"

As much as your earthly father may love you, your Heavenly Father loves you more…so much more. Your Heavenly Father longs to give you good gifts. He longs to bless you. He longs to show you kindness and approval.

You see, when you open your heart to God’s wisdom and favor, everything else in your life is impacted. Not only will He reenergize your spiritual life, but there will be a transformation of your health, finances, and relationships as well.
