Being blessed means knowing Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, having Him in your heart, and abiding in Him daily, constantly. Nothing else matters, despite what the world, tradition, family, or any other source of expectations, etc. has to say about it. Maybe sometime in the future, if allowed, I'll write more about it.
Merry Christmas.
What does it mean to be blessed?
We all want a good life. We all want a life that is blessed and successful.
Almost everyone on earth is searching for that, and we all have our own way of attaining the life we want. Some people look for happiness and fulfillment in material possessions. Others try to find happiness through gaining success and fame. And others search for fulfillment through relationships.
But rather than following the paths of the world around us, Psalm 119:2 says that true happiness and fulfillment come from obeying God. Since God is the creator and ruler of the universe, He certainly knows what is best for us. Following God’s guidance and direction for our life is the only way we will find true fulfillment. And the writer of Psalm 119 says that those who seek God with all their heart will be blessed.
A blessed life is a happy and fulfilled life, but it’s also a life that doesn’t find ultimate happiness and fulfillment through anything on this earth.
A truly blessed life comes through God.
You were created to enjoy a relationship with God. The more we seek God and desire Him, the more we will find a truly blessed life, because true blessing comes from spending time with God.
Blessed are those who keep His testimonies, Who seek Him with the whole heart! Psalm 119:2, NKJV
