The person doesn't feel worthy so keeps apologizing and seems ashamed by your offering.
They try to give back a gift of equal or increased value.
The person defines themselves as someone who gives to others and so doesn't feel comfortable receiving and acts awkward and resistant.
The person is so caught up in their fears and worries, they hardly notice what you have done for them.
The person is fearful and desperate, so tries to convince you to give them more.
Those responses take all the delight out of giving. Do we respond any of these ways when Love is pouring gifts on us? Are we so fearful, we don't see? Do we feel small and unworthy of accepting Love's generosities? Do we push them away? Today, notice gifts- all the ways you are being supported. Say thank you! Know that you don't have to earn these generosities. You can accept them just because you are beloved.
(This is not to say, of course, that we don't need to be wise givers and receivers. Sometimes, often without the giver realizing it, offerings can be patronizing, inappropriate, or a power moves They can carry demands or be culturally insensitive. But, today, I wanted to focus on our own willingness to accept the goodness Life offers.)
