We're Blessed! Why?

When you look at all the things you’ve accomplished and accumulated in your life, what do you think?  Sometimes, I get away with myself and think about how smart I am or what a good job I’ve done of managing the money I’ve made over the years.  I mean I have multiple degrees and I’m not doing too shabby for a single female who’s in a position to pretty much go where I want and do what I want.   And then I’ll catch myself and think how crazy I am.  Everything I have and have ever accomplished is all do to God’s hand on me and my life.  And it wasn’t even about me.

Don’t get me wrong, God loves me.  That’s not bragging, that’s a fact.  After all, He sent His son to die for my sins...and yours.  He does not want me to suffer and He wants me to have joy in life and the things He has given me a love for.  But, He has not just blessed me so I can say that He did.  He has blessed me so I can bless someone else.  Whether it is with my time, my money or my space, who am I to be selfish when they all belong to God anyway.  This same thing applies to you.  We all need a blessing.

Make sure you can reap the harvest you’ve planted.  Bless others with the gifts you have, even if it’s a kind word when they need it most.  Don’t just walk past people who are hurting when you’re moved to act.  Don’t be afraid of ridicule from those around you who don’t understand, even if it’s family.  Remember where your blessings come from and pass that on.
