The Secret of “Blessings Flow”

[Tweet “Want Blessings? Go to God’s fountain and let blessings flow from Him- to us- to others.”]

 Blessings don’t come as a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow.  They come with knowing we are in God’s care with every breath we take.

When I was little, I used to sing the Doxology. Praise God from whom all blessings flow——

It’s taken me many years  to understand that ALL life, gifts, and blessings flow from the hand of God.  Basically, if we are alive- we are blessed.  And whether I understand it or not at the time, many blessings come incognito; their glory hidden until God’s appointed day.

Life sends us confusing messages- if something bad happens, we’re cursed.  If something good happens we’re lucky.

ummm- NOT.

As a believer in a GOOD GOD who actively works all things for my good and His glory- I finally am resting in the knowledge that

[Tweet “We are blessed because we are His! Nothing can or will ever separate us from His love. “]

He is for us, not against us.  He came to save us and redeem us from death, hell, and the grave.

He is 1000% committed to transforming and restoring me- and you!

This ACTIVE PROMISE of His good blessing is this:

[Tweet “When His blessings flow TO us- His blessings can’t help but flow THROUGH us.”]

blessedtobe

Prayer:  Father- help us understand we need to go to You- and receive your blessings. Help us realize blessings from “things” or “people” are temporary but your blessings are eternal.  Help us live and move in Your presence.  Praise You God- from whom all blessings flow!  Flow to us and through us to this lost, and hurting world.  Amen.

Hi, I’m Cindy- 35 years of “livin” with my prince charming, Jeff. I’m a home maker, not a house wife, parent of 7, memory maker, mama bear, Nana to 11 & counting, Pastor’s wife and I’m daily amazed by the depths of God’s love.

I love reading, home schooling, encouraging others, playing the piano, worshiping, dating my husband, and planning parties and retreats for our clan. Someday, I really want a horse and learn to play the cello and viola.
