Be A Blessing

So often, people look for others to bless them. But how about being a blessing? It's not about you, you know. Even Jesus says it's more blessed to give than to receive. Jesus is our example. He didn't come to be served but to give His life as a ransom for us all.

Now, if Jesus came to be blessing, how much more should we look to be a blessing? Don't look for grand ways to be a blessing. Many times, the smallest of ways can be the biggest of blessings. If you're waiting to have more money or have more status to be a blessing, then forget it. Use what you have and God will multiply what you have.

It's often said that little is much in the Master's hands. Such a true statement. Offer what you have to the Lord. He knows how to multiply what you give to Him and to others. It's about being a blessing. We're blessed to be a blessing. We're more blessed than we think. So seek to be the best blessing you can be. This implies that you're already blessed. Glory to God for helping us be a blessing!!!

God Is So Good

God is so, so good! Sometimes, it's hard to put into words how good the Lord is. I certainly can speak for myself. It doesn't take long to realize the Lord has been good to us. That goodness can often be seen in material things, but that really isn't the half of it.

Too often we measure how blessed we are based on the "stuff" we have in life. But that's not the best measurement. There are thousands upon thousands that have stuff but can't sleep at night. They are worried about how to hold on to the things they possess. Yet they lack true happiness. They fail to see the true goodness of the Lord. Health, strength, family, and so forth. Those are the true blessings in life.

We just need to sit down and literally count the blessings. So often, we overlook the little things that are bigger blessings than we think. Just thank and praise the Lord for His goodness. It shows Him how thankful we are. Grateful people are a joy to the Lord. They generally appreciate God's goodness and don't complain. That's the attitude to have. Because, the Lord has truly been good to us. Amen to that.

Grace

I'm so grateful for the amazing grace that has been extended to us through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. If it had not been for grace, oh where would we be!!! God's unmerited favor bestowed upon us. Unearned and undeserved. Yet, grace is freely given to us. Everything God has is available to us - His power, love, goodness and so on. The truly is the essence of grace.

I'm reminded from the Bible that God's grace is sufficient for every situation. When things aren't going as you desire, begin to praise God for His grace. The Bible says by grace we are saved through faith. Yes, it's by grace. Praise the Lord for the grace of God.

No matter where you are or what you're dealing with, God's grace is sufficient for every situation. His grace will get you through any situation. Grace is not a light thing. It's power to change your circumstances. Embrace the grace. It's waiting to embrace you.
