A life rich in blessing. What is the formula?
You will find it in the Beatitudes — poverty of spirit…mourning…meekness…hunger and thirst for righteousness…mercifulness…purity of heart…peacemaking…persecution. Each carries with it the promise of a blessing.
But…what is the definition of a blessing?
It may include externals — like food…clothing…and shelter. But the meaning is deeper. It carries with it blessings that are internal – like grace for living…and the joy of being in right relationship with God.
Some may come to Christ seeking personal gain. But the promise here is for something much better.
So…the promise of a blessed life is yours…when you follow Jesus.
It’s a promise that is certain.
