What Does It Mean To Be Blessed

What Does It Mean to Be Blessed?

As a Christian... What’s a good 
definition of “success?”
How does one know if their 
life has been blessed?

Is it based on the words that 
someone has spoken?
Has your life been humbled... 
and your heart broken?

Have you measured up to the way
 God really wants you to be?
Are you in search of HIS righteousness? 
With a desire to be holy?

It's more than just 
doing a "church routine."
Or coming to church every week, 
and doing the "Sunday thing."

True Godly success is not based 
on a church building.
Nor getting involved on things 
that are rather "appealing."

It comes from falling in love with 
Jesus and making him Lord.
It's only in Christ where your 
treasures should be stored.

Allow his holy word and spirit to daily lead.
He alone can bring the blessing 
you so really need.

Listen to his word and obey his voice.
Above everything else... 
He must be your first choice!

Only then will your life be blessed 
the way God intended.
His life for yours has 
already been committed.

Enter into his holiness!
 His peace and rest.
For what he gives you is 
always the best!
