This quote comes from Nick Harrison's blog from January 11, 2014 entitled "A Life Full of Blessings" and it is so true for our lives. It is true even if we struggle and struggle to believe it. Here is Nick's comment and quotes.
"We live a blessed life." Yet, sometimes we actually don't believe the truth that is right in front of our faces, or hidden just behind the obstacle in our path.
I have been blessed for years and years and so have you. Truthfully, even before I knew it and even at times when I didn't and don't realize it or understand it. I have been blessed and anointed. Yes, I have been blessed by his redeeming blood. Yep, I have been blessed by his saving grace. I have been blessed by the family and friends he has given me too. Do these friends and family sometimes leave me scratching my head, sure. But when times are low, tight and hard these are also the very friends and family that open my eyes to the truth of God's great love and his infinite blessings in my life. Many times God has reached down and touched me with hands that look just like the hands of a brother, sister, parent or friend. Other times, he has reached down and re-ordered my life in unexpected ways through complete strangers. These were blessings too.
Consider this, and I don't say it lightly, even the nasty, downright hard and hurting times, the ones where it didn't feel like much of a blessing - really were a blessing! I can only cringe when I think of what would have happened had God not been so radical with his love and ushered in a complete readjustment of my focus. Sickness gives me an appreciation of life and health. Lack of money gives an appreciation of other blessings and just how rich I truly am - plus it destroyed the idol of money. Hard times and rain - generates a greater appreciation for the sunshine and keeps my heart longing for that better day.
I believe strongly that it is indeed the Father's good pleasure to give me the kingdom life. In my earthly life and the life to come I will sing of his love, grace and blessings. I pray to live the truth repeatedly, daily, hourly and minute by minute - I am a blessed person. I am highly favored and victorious because of Christ. I have victory now, over my circumstances and in the midst of them, and I have victory to come in eternity. And I have his word on that!
So, join me in telling yourself the truth everyday for the rest of your life. Join me in believing that "We live a blessed life!"
With love (& in triumph),

Tell Yourself the Truth! "I am a blessed person! God delights to pour His blessings on me. He has redeemed me in order to show me His blessing. He has given me Himself that I might be blessed. He has blessed me with His riches so that I can benefit others around me. I am blessed in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. As I live out my earthly life, those spiritual blessings impact everything I do. Whatever I put my hand to in my walk with Him is blessed of God because it originates in God. Because of God's blessing, I cannot fail in life. That's His promise!"Right now, my heart is screaming, "I am a blessed person!"
!!!!! I am a blessed person !!!!!
