It's a famous declaration for us christians that we are born to bless God and those people around us. From those past years that we lived our lives, did other people feel blessed having us in their lives?
We are ought to be givers, not merely takers. It may be hard but change should come our way. Disregard selfish thoughts and learn how to think for others. Living our life here on earth requires give and take situation.
One time I met a friend outside the church. He was just sitting and it seems that he was expecting something that he doesn't know. It was time for me to go home but I spent additional time with my friend. Both of us started sharing every experience we are having on a daily basis as a Christian. What's the best thing about our talk is that both of us served as a blessing through those experiences that we shared.
Being a blessing is not just about giving something, an item, money, object, time etc. Far more than those material things are those encouraging words that we share and advice especially if it comes directly from God.
As you spend your day, do you have that goal of being a blessing to other people?According to Ephesians 4:29 "Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen."
Quick Note:I unexpectedly visited a website name "BlessingsForLife". It may seem very simple but if you truly have some stories that you believe could uplift other people, you may share it through that website.
Always Remember: BE SOMEONE'S BLESSING
