So you want to be a blessing to others....

So you want to be a blessing? Well to be a blessing you must be broken, and then transformed so that what needs to be healed can be revealed. You cannot help anyone if you never known any kind pain. You cannot understand what has no meaning to you, thus, you cannot help another. I am not saying there are not some people who have the ability to get it bit that God. For most of us, if you desire to be a blessing, you must submit your will to God’s, and that means you are no longer in control. This is what it is all about right, submitting to God? When you desire to be a blessing you have the awesome gift of having burdens and blessings as a mantle to wear. See a blessing means a declaration of divine favor, or an invocation imploring divine favor on someone or something. Now that is awesome to receive, but it is not free, or without a cost to us. It requires accepting what is not seen, seeking what cannot be validated, and being silent when words are attacking your tongue. Being a blessing does not mean you have no trouble or there is no struggles but it does mean you are able to help others find there way out of no way, and achieve peace in the midst of a tsunami knowing God will do what he said, he would regardless of our insecurity or fears. Being a blessing is having the remnants of your favor; leftovers provide an increase in others lives. Yet, being a blessing to other requires a humble spirit that knows how to choose their battle, and understand in the end, we win, even though, outlook is grim. The battle is occurring, the wars seemed to be wage without ceasing – either in the spiritual or one in the carnal, and at times there is a simultaneous battles. Being a blessing requires an examination of personal beliefs and values as you realizes alternative conflict resolution skills are now part of arsenal – Ecc. 9:11 - I have seen something else under the sun: The race is not to the swift or the battle to the strong, nor does food come to the wise or wealth to the brilliant or favor to the learned; but time and chance happen to them all (NIV). We have to get beyond the theoretical understanding where we espouse the rhetorical statements about the subject of being a blessing, to the place application into our life perspective, and implemented in our lens we see life through. Then the being a blessing will take the transformative function it was meant to be …Luke 9:16 - Then He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, He blessed them, and broke them, and kept giving them to the disciples to set before the people. (ASB). ..We have to broken and blessed to be a blessing…
