I am so blessed!

My God, my King, my Savior! Blessed be Your Name! God is so incredibly good to us in so many ways.  As I say those words I realize that many people don't have a life filled with loved ones and good things. Many people are living lives filled with hardship and pain. Can they say the same things I can? Can they say God is so incredibly good to us in so many ways?  Perhaps they can and I just can't imagine them being able to do so because my idea of good things differ from theirs. Some times it takes having a lot of things stripped away from us before we realize what really matters, and yet even as I say those words I realize some people would rather not live then do without things that are stripped away from them.  The value we place on our lives can be great, or it can be little to no value.  What value does God place upon our lives?

God with God, places so great a value on our lives that He took on human flesh, removing Himself from His Spirit form and allowed Himself to be murdered- for US, because He values US so incredibly much! We are THAT important to Him.

Truly, God who was decreed the Father so loved the WORLD that gave His only begotten decreed Son, and whosoever BELIEVES in HIM will NOT perish but have EVERLASTING LIFE.

This is truth!

God loves those with awful lives, and those with lives of ease and luxury, and in some ways those with the lives of ease have a much harder time than those with lives of pain and hardship. We are called to be God's in giving, in taking, in good, in bad, in ease, and in hardship- may we never forget this, not ever.  May God bless those who give so much without ever expecting things in return. May God bless those who have enriched my life with their blessings. May God fill them with His truth, His love, His light, with all that He is!


I am blessed, so incredibly blessed in so many ways
