Sometimes, we like to bargain with God

" God, if i do this and this, would you give me good results?"
"God. if i do this and this, would you give me a good husband?"

often. I know this is wrong. But subconsciously, i do it. I try to be good, do my quiet time, so at the end of the day, i know God will honour me and bless me.

but recently i realised that by having this kind of mindset, i am yearning for more of God's blessings than God in my life.

and how can we ever bargain with God, if our life was exchanged with blood.

But now this is the word of the Lord, the word of your creator, O Jacob, of him who fashioned you, Israel: Have no fear: for I have paid your ransom; I have called you by name and you are my own.
