Blessed: Favorite Word
Blessed* --- divine word of Providence-grant
Love-filled, revealing life, blissfully triumphant
Expressing heart, earnestly jubilant
Satisfied by God’s provisions, super-abundant
Sufficed, though resources seem scant
Embellished with great truths, excellently relevant…
Distinguished reality I delight in; “blessed” makes me exuberant!
Blessed**: human term testifying about the pleasant and significant
Liberating attitude from being selfishly arrogant
Empowering soul to be generously compliant
Showing goodness of the Lord, gloriously radiant
Sharing sincere love, rebuking the bitterly defiant
Exemplifying joyous peace, heavenly elegant…
Distinct favorite word of mine; “blessed”*** moves my faith as Christ’s servant!
*2Samuel 22:47 The LORD liveth; and blessed be my rock; and exalted be the God of the rock of my salvation.
**Jeremiah 17:7 Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is.
***Luke1:45 And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord.
