Psalm 1:1 Oh, the joys of those who do not follow the advice of the wicked, or stand around with sinners, or join in with mockers.
What does it mean to be blessed? Is it receiving something good from God? Is it knowing we are saved? Is it things going well in our life? Is it just something we say to someone when they sneeze?
I looked at Webster's definition of blessed and I don't think it even scratched the surface of what it really means to be blessed. I think being blessed is an inner understanding of the love God has for us. To me, being blessed is the joy we hold in our heart knowing the creator of the universe loves us as if we were the only one who loves us back.
It's easy to love someone who loves us but what about those that despise us? What about that coworker who ridicules us because of our faith? That family member that tries to humiliate us at family gatherings? Can we love them with every ounce of our being? That's the way God loves us. That's the way God loves them. Aren't we called to love like Jesus?
Luke 6:32 "If you love only those who love you, why should you get credit for that? Even sinners love those who love them!
Blessings, Cecilia
