I resist brokenness; He blesses it. I seek satisfaction through abundance; He makes me spiritually hungry and then fills the void inside. I consider my weeping to be a personal weakness; He turns it into joy. 

I’m blessed, blessed, blessed. My day-to-day experiences are not without difficulties; yet, I am able to live a blessed life. God blesses me through adversity, trials and afflictions. He is a merciful Master.

“And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said, Blessed be ye poor: for yours is the kingdom of God. Blessed are ye that hunger now: for ye shall be filled. Blessed are ye that weep now: for ye shall laugh (Luke 6:20-21 KJV).”

I have experienced His mercy firsthand. Through sacred Scriptures, Jesus has promised to be with me always; He will never forsake me.

“… lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen (Matthew 28:20b KJV).”

I can persist in peril; knowing that I am blessed with His help and presence. The LORD is a present help.

“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1 KJV).”

Troubles will undoubtedly come my way but He will turn them into testimonies.

I am blessed but not because I am good.

God is good; in His mercy and compassion He blesses me with forgiveness and favor. The LORD bestows His favor on all who surrender their lives into His tender care.
