I have to wonder if there isn't a reason why you are attracted to that, and you see that "in every instance"...

Often one sees what one resonates with, even if the connection is a negative resonance (aka negative attraction).

I have never once perceived others to use this expression in that way. I have always experienced it as an affirmation that God will bless those who take the initiative and do not simply play the victim or wallow in self-pity. Always as such an affirmation.
