Why me? WOW….there is such a good reason you will love it.
Every-time we bless someone else, three things happen:
1. We have the thought of the blessing! (Good for your mind and soul. Phil 4:8)
2. We speak blessing through our mouth! (Words can bring life! John 6:63)
3. As we bless, we are blessed! (In words we are justified; declared righteous! Matt 12:37)
To bless means to:
- To consecrate or sanctify, or pronounce holy.
- To request of God, divine favor.
- To impart good of any kind.
- To commend as holy; glorify. (To bless God.)
- To protect or guard from evil.
Those are some of the definitions of the word bless. How wonderful that we can impart such awesome things in just ‘blessing’ a person or situation!
As we work in partnership with the Holy Spirit (He is the senior partner and we are junior partner), we use our mind, our mouth to speak, we are blessed, and the Holy Spirit does the rest, and He is soooo good at what He does! As it goes forth those who receive the blessing will be blessed, those who do not, the blessing will return to us! (Luke 10:6)
Whee…!!! What a blessing to give a blessing and be blessed! All because of Jesus, for Jesus and in His Name, we can rise up each day to over come evil with good! (Rom 12:21)
Blessing makes the heart sing!
