matthew 5:8 “You’re blessed when you get your inside world—your mind and heart—put right. Then you can see God in the outside world.
i was in my office this morning... praying inside my head. what i WANT is the 13 acres we looked at last night. what i prayed for was God's hand and direction in my life. if God wants us to have that land, He'll make a way.
then i started thinking about my life and how amazingly blessed i am!!! some days, i just can't believe it! and i started to think "i don't deserve any more!!" and i started thinking "there's got to be some sort of limit to God's blessings and favor. surely i've reached my limit!"
and then it occured to me, i'm struggling with self-worth!! i'm questioning whether or not i am worth God's blessings. i realized that was just crazy talk!
john 10:10 A thief comes only to steal and to kill and to destroy. I have come so that they may have life and have it in abundance.
there's no holding back with God!
so... right after i had this argument with myself... in my head... my mechanic came walking thru the door. he delivered my car to me (which means no car fetching during lunch!!) AND he fixed my valve stem and changed the oil for FREE. what?!?!? is it free oil change tuesday!! I DON'T KNOW!! but i will accept that blessing!!
again, i just want to say... God's blessing isn't a bag of cash showing up at your door step!! well, it may be... that's up to him!! but i challenge you today, find something that was a blessing! maybe it was NOT getting stuck by a train... or bouquet of weeds from your child!! find your blessing and be thankful!!
