Endless Blessing

Have you ever thought about the permanent blessing of God?

I know that sounds too good to be true, and in fact, it is, because it is a blessing that has no beginning or end.

The permanent blessing is the blessing of God that is upon our lives every day; it is the favor that gives us life, protects us, leads us and brings us to our homes, frees us from diseases, gives us strength to overcome the bad seasons of life, gives us wisdom and intelligence to solve problems, in short, it is multiple blessings happening at the same time, each one given especially for an area of life.

God sends us what we need at the exact time we need it. Although the situation may seem chaotic and meaningless, the permanent blessing is there with us.

What is the purpose of this blessing?

The Lord gives us this blessing so that we can grow, develop, and become everything that He created us to be.

God created us to do great things, and this takes time, so He graces us with the permanent blessing; the Lord is perfecting us daily, extending his hand so that we can climb one more step towards the future that the Almighty God has designed for each one.

Don’t give up! Don’t surrender! The permanent blessing will always be with you.

Lamentations 3:22-23 (CSB)

Because of the Lord’s faithful love we do not perish, for his mercies never end. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness!

Always Present

Throughout life, we create a wrong perception about what it means to be under God’s protection. We are taught that divine coverage will deliver us from all bad situations, and nothing bad will happen to us.

However, throughout life, we live many things that bother and sadden us. We suffer disappointments, betrayals, and injustices; we feel physical and heart pain, and it seems that everything that could go wrong happens to us.

In these moments, we question whether God is really with us; we question whether we are under his protection and blessing. The whole scenario indicates that we are living alone, and no one cares for our steps.

Before concluding we are alone, we must dive into the Word of God and comprehend how He acted in the lives of his beloved children.

In the Book of Genesis, we see how God was with Joseph throughout his life, the young man faced the envy of his brothers, slavery, and prison. In every place he was, God showed him his grace. Joseph ended his life as the second most important man in Egypt, responsible for saving the nation during the time of famine.

In the Book of Exodus, we see how God cared for the people of Israel in the desert, providing them water, food, shade during the day, and light and warmth during the night. The people were led to the Promised Land, where they enjoyed abundance in everything.

In the Book of Daniel, we see how God saved Daniel’s friends in the blazing furnace, He sent an angel who protected them. Daniel was thrown into the lions’ den and was also protected by an angel sent by God. Daniel and his friends were respected and admired by the king of Babylonia.

All these stories have something in common: God rescued the people amid their disgraces. Everything seemed lost, but God saved them and led them to blessing. The Lord was with each of His children in their worst moments.

Therefore, we must cling to this same faith, believing that God is with us even when everything is chaos and seems like our end. The Lord is by our side, strengthening us and guiding us towards victory.

Isaiah 43:2 (NIV)

When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze.

Jesus, the New Chance

In no moment, Jesus condemned,

Even his executioners were acquitted.

Christ does not represent condemnation,

Jesus came to represent salvation.

 

For the sins of all people, He has paid,

In this way, everyone could be saved.

The cross is a chance for all people to find reconciliation,

Each one can return to God's ways and his direction.

 

Those who before were condemned,

They had all their sins forgiven and erased.

They left the darkness and condemnation,

And by God, they were led to salvation.

 

About this news, Jesus was the mediator,

Before God, He is our intercessor.

Freeing all the people of any accusation,

Giving forgiveness and love to the chosen ones.

 

The love of the Lord is so amazing,

That He gave his Son for all people's sins.

Jesus showed the biggest love in his actions,

The election, the forgiveness, and Lord's salvation.

Demonstrating Gratitude

We have to be faithful to the Lord,

He already has blessed us a lot.

He gives us life every day,

He gives us daily bread all day.

 

To God, we can promise something,

As was said, we must do everything.

We cannot promise things in vain,

We must not have falsehood in our heart.

 

If a grace the Lord has given you,

And a commitment with God was made by you,

Everything that your heart said, you have to do,

On the commitment to the Lord, you must be faithful.

 

We must give the best for the vote to the Lord,

We did not receive the worst from God,

A pleasant sacrifice, we must do,

Being honored in the time to be grateful.

 

The thanks are very important,

Because it shows that we are not arrogant.

It shows that from the Lord, we are dependent.

And we are conscious of all our commitments.
