Mostly In Vain

I received an Email today, one of those send this to a certain # of people and receive a blessing from God. Say this little pray for God to bless you.

To me this seems like we are taking God's name in vain. So now we throw in a little email, a little blip in our daily life, and forward an email that someone forwarded to us. Not that it is thinking of God to click the button to forward. But now people know we are Die hard all out Christians. Wow what a Servant of the Lord you are, the self sacrifice you made by Forwarding an email. It just blows my mind. Is this really advancing the Kingdom of God, because more Christians forward christian emails, than Muslims. I mean for real. When I get to heaven is Jesus going to come over to me and say "hey you remember that Forward you received that talked about me, I noticed you only sent it to 7 people instead of 8. I am sorry but now you will have to spend some time in Hell for not including the 8th person like the email said".

And about praying for Blessing, I am at the point in my life right now, I do not want blessing from God. Would I like him to bless me, maybe but I think and pray that he would Grow me. Make me into a better man than I am. Make me more like Jesus. I enjoy seeing my growth. I am glad that I am not like I used to be. To me that is just what I need, not blessing as in stuff. I am already prideful and somewhat greedy, I don't need for God to bless me with more stuff that I can Squander.
