When you got the enjoyments, do you think about God as the source?

As a Christian, personally, in all things I do, and see and enjoy in my life, I Praise god and Thank him for, and it is in him we have everything to be Thankful for. No matter what we see around us, it is all because of God. Problem is most people tend to blame God, instead of thank him for what they have, and see around them.

That's cool. God is the source of every good thing in our life. He even use the bad things from Satan as the tools for our goodness. But human can't see the big picture. When God gives His blessings, many people only enjoy the blessings and forget the source of the blessings. In a problem, people blame God for the bad things and forget all the good things from God. And, that's why they can't see that God is still with us..

I used to be quite confused in understanding about enjoying God. I was a bit surprised to see views about a Christian hedonist. I foolishly thought I should really 'hate' everything so that I could love God. That train of logic was wrong and I would have ended up a dualist if I continued, denying of so called God's blessings.
But someone tiredlessly told me that my train of logic should start not from denying/abandoning God's blessings in order to die to self, instead to embrace them, knowing they are a shadow of who God truly is for me. Just like Abraham who was given the promised land to live, yet this blessing did not consume him. He enjoyed it (lived happily till old age) yet he did not regard that blessing as the ultimate joy. The blessing only made me want His God more. That is what I hope... =)

I'm sorry that you feel that way, and don't know how much God loves you.

I really appreciate your opinion.
Have you ever got something that you didn't work?
Is it lucky or a blessing from God?
I saw many people work hard but didn't get a good fruit as they want. Why?
There must be God who rule everything..
