How To Be Blessed

From birth, we are like sponges....

We desire to soak in, and not give out.

Everywhere we go, we crave popularity and praise. We prefer to talk about ourselves. We even evaluate social settings wondering, Am I getting attention? Are people talking to me? Am I being left out?

This is sin. It's called self-absortion.

Beloveds, we must repent and do the opposite.

In every situation, ask God to use you to bless others. Forget about yourself. Focus on others. Seek to build His kingdom. And, in so doing, you will be blessed.

I Peter 3:9 says to:
...bless, for to this you were called, that you may obtain a blessing.
