You
Are Blessed
If you own a Bible, you are
abundantly blessed - about
1/3 of the world do not have
access to one.
If you wake up each morning
with more health than illness,
you are blessed to rise and
shine,
to live and to serve in a
new day.
If you have anyone on the planet,
just one person that loves
you and listens to you;
count this a blessing.
If you can freely attend a
church meeting without fear,
then you are more blessed
than over 1/3 of the world.
If you have a yearning in your
heart to parent a child,
you are blessed because
you still desire what you
cannot see.
If you pray today or any day,
you are blessed because
you believe in God's willingness
to hear your prayer.
If you pray for someone else,
you are blessed because
you want to help others also.
If you have food in your refrigerator,
clothes on your back,
a roof over your head, and
a place to sleep;
all at the same time; you
are rich in this world.
If you have a brother or sister
in Christ
that will pray with you and
for you,
you benefit from a spiritual
unity, bond, and agreement,
which the gates of hell cannot
stand against.
If you have any earthly family
that
even halfway love you and
support you,
you are blessed beyond measure.
If you attend a church with
a church family
that offers you one word of
encouragement,
you are blessed with some
form of fellowship.
If you have money in the bank,
in your wallet,
or some spare change in a
dish someplace
you are among the world's
wealthy.
If you can go to bed each night,
knowing that God loves you,
you are blessed beyond measure.
If you try each day to imitate
our Lord Jesus Christ
for even a minute,
you are blessed because you
show a willingness to grow up in Him.
If you can read this message,
you are more blessed
than about 1/3 of the world
who cannot read at all.
If you have never had to endure
the hardship and agony
of battle, imprisonment, or
torture,
you are blessed in indescribable
measure.
If you have a voice to sing
His praises,
a voice to witness God's love,
and a voice to share the gospel,
you are blessed.
About 1/3 of the world do
not even
know who the one true God
is.
If you can hold someone's hand,
hug another person,
touch someone on the shoulder,
you are blessed because
you can offer God's healing
touch.
If you can share a word of
encouragement with someone else,
and do it with His love in
your heart,
you are blessed because you
have learned how to give.
If you have the conviction
to stand fast
upon His Wordand His promises,
no matter what,
you are blessed because you
are learning patience, endurance, and tenacity.
If you hold up your head with
a smile on your face and are truly thankful,
you are blessed because most
people can, but many will not.
