How do you define blessing?
Do material possessions, such as a comfortable home, the latest gadgets and stylish clothes, determine whether or not you are blessed? Or does blessing refer to less tangible items like fulfillment in work, a healthy body or a sense of purpose in life? Is blessing simply a stroke of luck or good fortune? Does it apply only to people living in the western hemisphere of the world?
Surely, blessing from God would include children, a satisfying marriage, and close friendships.
Yet, if we are honest, we will acknowledge that we don't have answers for those who lack these "blessings" that we presume are ours. Maybe we lack a response because our assumptions are incorrect.
We are incredibly blessed by God when He opens our eyes to the sin in our lives, so that we can turn to Him. That is the blessing that every believer experiences. Consider your idea of blessing and thank God for turning you from sin.
