We are blessed!
We are Blessed!If you own just one Bible, you are abundantly blessed because one-third of the world does not even have access to one.
If you woke up this morning with more health than illness, you are more blessed than the million who will not survive the week.
If you have never experienced the danger of battle, the loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of torture, or the pangs of starvation, you are ahead of five-hundred million people around the world.
If you attend a church meeting without fear of harassment, arrest, torture, or death, you are more blessed than almost three-billion people in the world.
If you have food in your refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof over your head, and a place to sleep, you are richer than 75% of this world.
If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in a dish somewhere, you are among the top 8% of the world’s wealthy.
If your parents are still married and alive, you are very rare.
If you hold up your head with a smile on your face, and are truly thankful, you are blessed because the majority can, but most do not.
If you can hold someone’s hand, hug them, or even touch them on the shoulder, you are blessed because you can offer God’s healing touch.
If you prayed yesterday and today, you are in the minority because you believe in God’s willingness to hear and answer prayer.
If you believe in Jesus as the son of God, you are a very small minority in the world.
If you can read this message, you are more blessed than over two billion people in the world that cannot read anything at all.
If you think you are the only one hurting and feel that the world is putting you down, think again.
Sometimes we call the problems upon ourselves, and it takes an act of will to get out of the rut in which may be at the moment.
Recognize the many graces in your life and you will know that you really have been blessed; more than you or anyone in this world can ever imagine.
