Beggars

I don't know how anyone could possibly deny the existence of a God. Everything about life fits together so perfectly that there is no other possible explanation than divine creation. Everything good in life comes from a loving Heavenly Father that allows us to experience joy, love, and peace. We owe everything we have to "Him who created all things."
Why then do we allow ourselves to get caught up in thinking we deserve certain things? We may make good choices here and there and feel like we merit "blessings," but when it is all said and done, nothing in this life is really our own. It is all loaned to us by the ultimate proprietor for us to use and enjoy because he allows us to out of love. He can give and take as He pleases because He has paid the price for it. If He wanted to He could keep every bit of happiness to Himself and be perfectly justified in doing so... but He doesn't.
In the Book of Mormon, King Benjamin talks about we are all "beggars." That every single one of us has complete dependence on God for everything in life and it is absolutely true. We have nothing, and the only reason we are here in existence is because He made it possible. As rich, talented, or powerful we may view ourselves we are nothing without our God. Fortunately for us, He is willing to give us what will make us eternally happy. Mosiah 2:23-25 gives further clarification of our forever indebtedness to our Creator.
I am grateful to my Heavenly Father for all that He has given me and continues to bless me with. He repeatedly blesses me with more happiness than I thought possible previously. I know that by seeking to be obedient to His will, He will continue to bless me. I just hope I can always trust in Him and to never feel like I deserve things from Him.
Also, its interesting how life can keep getting better and better while getting harder and harder at the same time.
