takes even greater spiritual understanding and unselfishness.
We must learn to receive new friends and new ideas graciously.
We must not snub familiar gifts, familiar blessings.
We must cultivate a sense of values if we would have God's finer gifts.
We must learn to sense the spirit of the giver, and receive the gift in the spirit in which it is given.
By self-examination we may find out how we qualify as good receivers.
God is our nearest relative. His greatest gift to us is that of Himself as our Father. We can better receive His manifold gifts to us as we learn to receive Him into our life and heart.
The final test of a good receiver is ability to receive a confidence without leaving an aftermath of embarrassment to our confidant.
Close your study with this meditation for whomsoever you especially wish to bless:
You are a radiant center of the Christ light, mighty to attract your good, and to radiate good to others.
