What Does It Mean to Be Blessed?

What Does It Mean to Be Blessed?



 



As a Christian... What's a good



definition of  “success?”



How does one know if their



life has been blessed?



 



Is it based on the words that



someone has spoken?



Has your life been humbled...



and your heart broken?



 



Have you measured up to the way



 God really wants you to be?



Are you in search of HIS righteousness?



With a desire to be holy?



 



It's more than just



doing a "church routine."



Or coming to church every week,



and doing the "Sunday thing."



 



True Godly success is not based



on a church building.



Nor getting involved on things



that are rather "appealing."



 



It comes from falling in love with



Jesus and making him Lord.



It's only in Christ where your



treasures should be stored.



 



Allow his holy word and spirit to daily lead.



He alone can bring the blessing



you so really need.



 



Listen to his word and obey his voice.



Above everything else...



He must be your first choice!



 



Only then will your life be blessed



the way God intended.



His life for yours has



already been committed.



 



Enter into his holiness!



 His peace and rest.



For what he gives you is



always the best!

About the Poet
I and my wife have 4 grown children and currently live in the Pacific Northwest. I've spent much of my life doing volunteer work in the food distribution for the needy among local churches. Many of the poems I've written are a reflection of times of adversity as a reminder of God's love and faithfulness. I've found many opportunities to share my poems with those who are hurting and discouraged. I'm thankful for the reports of many of the poems touching people's lives. I hope that the poems included on Wordchimes will touch and bless your life too!
