deserving of blessings?

as i was reading Isaiah during quiet time.. about why Jesus has been sent down to die on the cross for our transgressions and how His resurrection brought healing to our wounds..i was just wondering to myself.. is there a subtle tendency that i am taking the blessings that God has been giving me as if He has owed me all that? in another words taking for granted whatever He is doing.. i have to admit that sometimes i do.. even though i still give thanks to Him.. i would still think that i deserve the blessings.. cos i have given my best.. put in a lot of hard work.. i realised how thick-skinned i am.. to even think that i deserved what i've gotten.. come to think of it.. i am very ashamed of my thoughts.. who am i to think so highly of myself? who am i to think that i deserved what i was blessed with? if God has chosen to withhold His blessings from me, there is no way anyone is able to turn it around.. in the same way, if God chooses to bless me, no one can stop that either.. Isaiah 14:27 and even if He chooses to bless me or especially my ministry, doesn't mean i deserve it or mean i'm righteous.. for ministry, it can mean that He loves His people too much to let anyone or anything to stumble their growth or for them to come to know Him.. no one deserves to be blessed by Him.. cos we have all sinned and fallen short of His glory.. it is by grace that these blessings have been given to us.. Romans 3:22-24

"27 For the LORD Almighty has purposed, and who can thwart him?
His hand is stretched out, and who can turn it back?"

~Isaiah 14:27~

^"22 This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference, ²³ for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, ²⁴ and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus."

~Romans 3:22-24~

have you ever asked yourself if you have ever taken God for granted?
