How blessed I am when I admit I have nothing of value to give
For my Father sprinkles my day with His riches
How blessed I am when I embrace endings
For in that soil new shoots spring forth
How blessed I am when I lay down my pride
For new territory can be won and occupied in my life
How blessed I am when I endeavor to do the right thing, although others may complain
Their complaints, turned to thanks, bless my heart
How blessed I am when I quickly forgive and extend grace
Then I understand God’s grace and my unworthiness to judge as I too am quickly forgiven
How blessed I am when all the distractions are held back (my complaints, the internet, my worries)
For God dwells in my day
How blessed I am when I choose to come alongside those who are struggling
For when I do, God affirms me as His child, being like my Daddy
How blessed I am when storms arise and arrows are launched at me
For they are opportunities for breakthrough for God’s glory to be manifest in my life
How blessed I am when I am misunderstood, bad-mouthed and misrepresented to others
My heart’s intentions and focus will be made clear in heaven – I am not alone – it is the same of all those who seek to proclaim God.
