Though it is different, seem harder, and difficult to live up to what God asks it is ok because that is not what he asks from us to give us the gift of His Son. Even though as kids we can understand, and today understand, that He gave us His son so that we might live it is difficult because everything we have in our earthly possessions "we earned" (to say God gives us everything though that is not how we see it). We are raised to understand that if we want something we need to work for it, we need to get a job or do chores to earn money to get the things we want.
I believe though it is necessary God gives us this even though we don't meet the criteria, because we can't, I think it creates problems. Do to our nature and comparing God's gift to others we have gotten, if we do not work for it we take it for granted. We don't appreciate the gift we are given. I don't know how to get past this but to try to change my nature. I am con viced God is the one who is right in this situation and for me to be able to live with accepting this gift I must also live in the way I can receive it without taking it for granted; meaning I must life as freely as this gift was given and trusting and knowing my needs will be met because they already have been.
