We have our own definition of “blessed.” It might include things like having money, good health, an enjoyable career. Gods definition of “blessed” is much different… In Matthew 5, Jesus said we are blessed when we are selfless and merciful, when we are lied about and taken advantage of! We live in a society that teaches us to take everything we can get, but Jesus teaches it is a greater blessing to give than to receive!

Often, by the decisions we make, we choose the curse rather than the blessing because the things God considers a blessing are counterintuitive. What we know is that God will never lie to our or fail us - if He says it’s a blessing, then we can take that to the bank.
