Being Blessed...

A lot of people take for granted the small blessings that God graciously bestows on each and every one of us, regardless of how or what we are doing, or for that matter, not doing for Him. We all have to come to grips with the fact that there is nothing that you or I can do to be deserving of God's blessing.

PERIOD. BOTTOM LINE. END OF STORY.

We get so caught up in the "how can I be blessed?" that we loose sight of the fact that we have been brought to the place where we happen to find ourselves today purely and solely by the grace of God and that in and of itself is blessing enough. God has allowed you to make it to the place where you find yourself with the sole purpose for you to be reading this blog at this very moment and to where you will have the opportunity to make a choice upon completion of this reading to whether to embrace the fact that He wants to be and is an intricate part of your life or you can continue to live your life under the disillusion that you are a self made man or woman and that you have made it this far on your own.

Think of any number of situations from your past where, if things had been even slightly different, your life would now be drastically changed. Maybe you used to or currently do drink and drive. Maybe you find yourself in a constant battle to live another 24 hours due to the environment in which you find yourself and the people with which you have surrounded yourself. Maybe you are living life as if it were a ride at an amusement park, with a constant and persistent, never ending wave of extreme highs followed by tremendous lows.

Now most people want you to believe that life is simply a series of random events with no real structure or reason for their existence, however, this could not be further from the truth. Whatever your situation and wherever you are know this, there is a reason...you have a purpose!

So the next time you find yourself in a situation where you find yourself asking the question, "How did I get to this point?" or "What am I doing here?" or better yet, "Where do I fit in and belong?", know there is a place and a person who can and will answer all of life's questions. He is simply waiting on you to open the door...and realize, if you want God to bless you in your house, you first need to bless Him in His. Find a local church that preaches truth, get into the Bible and read His Word, pray, and acknowledge Him for all that He has done for you...
