Many of us act like we have it going on. Truth be told, if it had not been for the Lord on our side where would we be. If God never opened the door we wouldn’t be in the place we’re at now. We wouldn’t have the things we have now, but God. So, when someone gives you a compliment or makes a comment about your job, house, car, finances, clothes, etc…let them know it’s all God. I didn’t do anything to deserve it, he just decided to bless me. It wasn’t my education, he just decided to bless me. It wasn’t who I know, God just decided to bless me. Because when we start fronting and acting like we did it all by ourselves, we must remember the Lord gives and the Lord takes away.

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing. 

You have to be wise enough to know when to speak and when to be quiet. Stop having OTM; on the mind, out the mouth. You don’t have to say something about everything, some things you can just be silent about and start praying within yourself. It doesn’t make you look weak or like a fool. It actually shows you have restraint and can be calm no matter what is said. Flying off the deep end makes you look foolish, and if you’re a Christian you’ve just blown your witness and who wants to hear from a foolish Christian.

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.

Thank a Veteran on today for their service to this country. Some were drafted and some volunteered. Many have gone to war and died for your freedoms. You will never know their names or the sacrifices they’ve made for you to walk around and enjoy the freedoms you have. Many have deployed numerous times leaving wives, husbands, children, mothers, fathers, and siblings behind. Many come home broken, dismantled, mentally ill, and they never complain. You can never imagine the things they saw in war, the smells they’ve smelt, and the horrors they’ve had to endure. So when you see a Veteran, thank a Veteran, hug a Veteran, treat a Veteran to a meal; for your freedom comes at a heavy cost that only a Veteran is willing to pay.

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing. 

No matter what God is still in control. God sees all and knows all; he’s not deaf or blind. Trust in the Lord and not in man. 

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing. 

Many times we don’t have to talk. If we just be quiet and listen to other people talk they will give us all the information we’re looking for. Many times they will give us more information than what we need. We pray, and as soon as we get done we just leave God. We don’t stay and listen for his response. When we learn to stay and listen, it will save us so much time and energy trying to figure out how to solve our issues and problems. 

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing. 

Many times we see loved ones in need and we want to run to their rescue. Did God tell us to do that? Sometimes we can get in God’s way. He’s trying to teach the person a lesson, but here we come sticking our nose where it doesn’t belong. Stop letting people depend on you and let them depend on God. They need to know him for themselves. 

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing. 

Nowadays people think they can treat you any way they please. They believe if they make more money than you or live a better life than you, then you’re less than; not realizing you’re one of God’s children too. What they don’t know is that they will reap what they sow. When we treat people less than or we oppress other people, it’s just a matter of time before God flips the script. It’s just a matter of time before the janitor you’ve looked down on, owns the company. It’s just a matter of time before the boys in the hood selling drugs, use their knowledge and open a legitimate company and restore the neighborhood. It’s just a matter of time before the young lady that’s selling her body come into contact with a man that loves her, and that will look beyond her faults and see her needs. So before we start treating people less than, know it’s just a matter of time.

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.

Do people get on your nerves and you wish they would stop talking to you? They don’t get the hint that you are fed up, and they go on and on. It’s funny how we feel this way with people but not with the devil. We tend to listen to every lie he says. We can tell the devil to stop talking to us by using the word of God. When we use the word we are resisting the devil. Resist the devil and he will flee. 

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing. 

I love to cook and bake. I cook everyday and I often call people to come taste or get a plate. Many times if someone say they have a taste for something I will cook it for them. Well one lady I know asked  me why are you always doing something for people? Why are you always coming out of your pocket to cook for people? I had to let her know that’s what I do. God has blessed me to be a blessing to someone else. Besides, she doesn’t complain when she gets a plate. My daughter happened to be present during our conversation and I had to explain to my daughter, this lady is not going to change my mind about blessing people. The Lord has given me a gift of feeding people and I’m going to use it to the best of my ability. Never let anyone talk you out of blessing someone else. Recognize that person doesn’t know the love of God, because God is a giver. 

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing. 

How many of us often say; if I only had more money everything would be alright? If I only had a better paying job, I could pay my bills? The truth is even with more money and a better paying job, many of us would still be in the same situation. I say this because we have not been good stewards over the money God has given us. We allow our spending habits to be out of control with the little we do have, so imagine if we had much. There is nothing more with wanting more money or a better paying job. It’s when we are blessed with these things we need to be better stewards of our resources. I really don’t understand God’s math but I like it. All he asks me for is 10%. When I give not pay my 10%, he opens up a window for me and pours me and my kids out a blessing that we don’t have room enough to receive. So it’s not about the more, it’s about doing with what you already have. If you be faithful over a few things, he’ll make you ruler over many.

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.
