Genesis 12:2 (NKJV) 2 I will make you a great nation; I will bless you and make your name great; and you shall be a blessing.
We are blessed.
No matter what our situation might feel like sometimes, we are still blessed.
And God has blessed us for a reason; to be able to bless others.
Yes, He gives us the desires of our heart because He loves us and wants us to enjoy our lives, but more than that, He blesses us so we can be a blessing to others.
You see, we have to learn to live with our hands wide open. While they’re open, God can place blessings in them. But when He blesses us, we can’t clench our fists and hold tightly to those things He has blessed us with.
Sometimes God will tell us to turn our hands over and release those blessings to others. This is why we should never close our hands! If our hands are closed, we can’t let go of those things.
We should be ready, at any time, to give to others when God leads us to do so. Because we never know how that thing that we give to someone else might change their life.
Acts 20:35 (NKJV) 35 I have shown you in every way, by laboring like this, that you must support the weak. And remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’”
