According to JC

When it’s being handed to you, you really should accept it. For the most part anyway. While I wouldn’t accept a ticking bomb, most of the stuff I’m handed is something I need or asked for. A cold drink, the car keys, TV remote, newspaper, food, money, cards. You receive them because someone is offering it to you. Especially gifts. Who hasn’t been given a gift that was neither wanted nor needed and yet we accept it, smile and say thank you. After all, that is the polite thing to do. We wouldn’t want to offend the other party making the offer. Yet, for most people, that same response does not apply to our relationship to the Lord. His gifts are always good, free, and exactly what we need. Jesus died on the cross to hand you your salvation at no cost to you. All you have to do is receive it. Righteousness is also a gift that cannot be earned or worked for. All the blessings of God come to us by grace, which is unmerited favor. Our part is to accept them and be thankful for such a wonderful, giving heavenly Father. Whatever you need right now has already been purchased for you by the death, burial and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ. He’s offering it at no cost to you. Stop trying to achieve it on your own and go ahead and accept it at His hand. It’s more than being polite, this is how you honor God. By taking what He has made available to us as sons of God. David experienced so much blessing and favor from the Lord that he wanted to find an appropriate way to thank and honor Him. So he asked the question “What shall I render unto the Lord for all His benefits toward me?” (Psalm 116:12). What can I do? What can I accomplish for Him? What can I give, David wondered? Then it came to him. Suddenly his eyes were opened. He knew exactly what to do. The next verse reveals the answer. “l will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the Lord” (Psalm 116:13). How can you honor the Lord? Take what He’s giving you and bless and praise His glorious name for ever!
