Blessing

I'm going to save you from this crisis in order that you should become a blessing to others. ~ Zechariah 8:13 (ABP)

It isn’t that we ourselves are qualified to claim that anything came from us. No, our qualification is from God. ~ 2 Corinthians 3:5 (CEB)
Lord, I have a very good life and it's because of what you do. Sometimes I try to take credit for it -- pretending that I've worked hard enough to earn all of this -- or that I'm special in some other way. But really, I'm deceiving myself and I need help to stop with that kind of deception. I want to turn my blessings around so that they become blessings for others. I want to share what you have given to me. That's what a follower of Jesus would do. Amen.
