“You want to be blessed….give yourself to being a blessing.”
Those are true words spoken by Allen Jackson of World Outreach Church (God Perspectives, Jan. 6 2013). In what
ways can you honestly say that you are a blessing to others? I know that in the
beginning, I was so selfish and it’s hard not to be—we are born that way. It’s
the power of the Holy Spirit that will break down our selfish walls and be a
joy and a light for others to see.
I actually enjoy helping others but I’m the first to admit
that I don’t do it as often as I should—let me rephrase. I don’t help as many
strangers as I should. I always try to be a blessing for my family and friends,
but to complete strangers that may be having a bad day….I don’t do it as
much as I should. My goal is not to
guilt trip. My goal is to make people aware (myself included ) that it’s not
always about me or my feelings. It’s
about helping others and spreading the love. The love of Jesus Christ.
Today’s
self-assignment: be a blessing to someone today. You never know the impact of what
one small thing can do.
