Eliza, from what I understand, the person with all the blessing is often less likely to receive the blessings.

I always go back to this passage.

"Again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God."

First let me say that I am not sure whether "kingdom of God." is the physical place that many people imagine Heaven to be. From my experience it is a State of mind and inner peace that I have felt from time to time and that is enough to motivate me.

In the New Testament the only thing required to enter the "kingdom of God." Is to accept Jesus as your personal savior. Personal experience tells me that it is much much easier to do so once we have hit rock bottom than when we are comfortable.
