Blessed to bless

You have already blessed my family, and I know you will bless us forever. ~ 1 Chronicles 17:27b (CEV)

Don’t pay back evil for evil or insult for insult. Instead, give blessing in return. You were called to do this so that you might inherit a blessing. ~ 1 Peter 3:9 (CEB)
Heavenly Father,

THANKS: You have really blessed me with so much that is good. I consider myself fortunate and I thank you.

REGRETS: I am not as free as you in treating people favorably. I'm stuck on wanting everyone to deserve whatever blessings I might pass along to them. But you seem to take pleasure in blessing even the people who do you wrong.

INTERCESSION: I want to be like you. Transform me so that I'm eager to bless even my enemies.

PURPOSE: I want to inherit more of a blessing from you.

Amen.
