Blessed Are We


     We have seen, over the last couple of weeks, that we are blessed. The blessings of God come through our meekness, our ability to show mercy, as we trust God with our lives. The blessings, the most valuable lessons, come from within. Keeping hope alive, with Christ, through any circumstances is possible.

     The Sermon on the Mount includes what are called “the beatitudes,” the blessings we have looked at together. The definition for beatitude is “supreme blessedness.” And supreme blessedness is the definition for a life with Christ.

     We should count our earthly blessings throughout our lives; our physical comforts, our loved ones, a sunny day, each birthday and so much more. But the abundant blessings through Christ run deeper. They give us joy, peace, faith and hope. Our souls can be at rest when we give Him our lives.

     Thank Him for our supreme blessedness today and ask Him to fill You with the deep assurance of a life with Him, that leads to eternal life. You and I are blessed!

Amen
