The Lord said to Abram: I will bless you ... so that you will be a blessing. ~ Genesis 12:2 (parts)
Don’t repay evil for evil. Don’t retaliate with insults when people insult you. Instead, pay them back with a blessing. That is what God has called you to do, and he will grant you his blessing. ~ 1 Peter 3:9 (NLT)
KEY IDEA:
Our purpose is to bless those around us.PRAYER:
God, we have been extremely blessed by you. But we -- and I in particular -- have somehow missed the point of it all. I'm eager to keep as much blessing to myself as I can. Help me to turn my blessings into blessings for others. I'm going to join you in making sure that your blessings are spread to all creation. Amen.
