Sometimes we go through our days only focused on our problems–how big they are, how complex they are, how abundant they are. Seldom do we take time to consider that others around us are suffering in some way, and often we do not even know it (and may never know it). Try an experiment this week. Whenever and wherever you encounter a whoever, be the blessing that they need of the presence of Christ.
When someone appears to be having a bad day, be the blessing! When someone seems to be discouraged or brokenhearted, be the blessing! When someone mocks you or curses at you, be the blessing! When someone is less than helpful to you today, be the blessing! When you encounter someone you’ve never met and may never see again, be the blessing! When you’re the one who is having a bad day or is discouraged or is brokenhearted, you be the blessing!
It is amazing how much you can turn someone’s day around by being the blessing! And, the “bless-er” is often more blessed than the “bless-ee.”
