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!

Changing the Vision

Sometimes we stay sad because we do not get something,

We stay unpleased, and about what we do not have, we think.

In our hearts arises a big feeling of unhappiness,

Because what we desire, we do not possess.

 

At this moment, we forget all conquered things,

About what we have in our lives, we forget everything.

We cannot see the blessings we have already received,

For what we do not have, we are looking fixedly.

 

We need to change our vision, and look in another direction,

For everything we already have, we must show appreciation.

We must thank God for everything He already gave us,

We must stop demanding from God what has not happened to us.

 

Our hearts must keep calm and trust in God,

Knowing that at the right time, what we need will be given by the Lord.

Because God is perfect, and He will never fail in anything,

We only have to learn to trust and wait for Him.

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.

Forgiveness at the Last Hour

On your side, I was been crucified,

I was a bandit condemned.

I had no hope about anything,

I was only sure that my death was coming.

 

Nothing would change for me,

Of the condemnation, I could not flee.

They will put to end my life,

I thought no one could save me at that time.

 

On my side, I saw a lord.

Some people called him Saviour,

And others charged him as an evildoer.

I saw something different in that man.

Even if being crucified,

He did not abandon his love for them.

 

I gave attention to this man,

I felt he was not an ordinary man,

He seemed to be a great king!

I said, ‘Lord, remember me,

When in your kingdom you to get in,’

And from him came the answer:

‘Today in paradise, you will be with me.’

 

My hope was revived,

Something good, that man promised,

He did not want to condemn me,

He preferred to forgive and save me.

 

For the glory of Christ, I am going,

I will be together with the great King,

Because my soul pleased Him,

He forgave me for all my sins,

To thee, I deliver my spirit, Lord.

To eternal life, I will go with you.

Work

To survive, it is needed to work,

If we want to have something,

We need to fight for everything.

Because nobody will get anything without fighting.

 

We always must trust in God,

But you cannot be lazy and make no effort.

There are many things you have to do,

For other things to happen to you.

 

The Lord ordered the work for everyone,

Then nobody will escape from what must be done.

It was an order from the Lord since the creation,

He said humans must work to get their provisions.

 

So that God may bless you,

There are many things you can always do.

Then the Lord sees your persistence,

And God's prosperity will be over you.

 

It will not be only in the material your prosperity,

It will be mainly in everything related to spirituality.

God will work on you,

And in all areas of your life, you will improve.

 

Ask God for strengths to continue in your fight,

Those who work, He will fortify.

All necessary help, God will provide,

Then you will always fructify.
