Blessings....Benefits....of Serving God!

To all of you Family and Friends....

I think I must make it perfectly clear, once and for all, I AM NOT PERFECT.....nor are any of you! We are humans, albeitly flawed, doing the very best that we can.

BUT the Lord BLESSES US ANYWAY!

As I read my Bible this early morn, it says in Psalm 115:12-15 NCV.....

"The Lord remembers us and will bless us.
He will bless our family.
The Lord will bless those who respect Him, from the smallest to the greatest.
May the Lord give you success, and may He give you and your children success.
May you be blessed by the Lord, who made heaven and earth."
(92:12-15)..."But good people will grow like palm trees
When they are old, they will still produce fruit;
they will be healthy and fresh.
They will say that the Lord is GOOD!
HE IS MY ROCK!"
We are blessed because we are.....God's Family!
We are HIS children....
Are your children perfect?
I know mine are not BUT....now here comes the qualifier.....
WE ALL LOVE JESUS WITH ALL OUR HEART, MIND, AND SOUL!
AND WE LOVE OTHER PEOPLE!
As a result of the above we are always prepared and willing to help others and to share what we have with others.
Actually, we seek opportunities to BE A BLESSING!
Being human, I take comfort in God's word that says
"Love covers a multitude of sins." (1 Peter 4:8)
For you see God knows His children are not perfect just as our children are not perfect. He understands our 'humanness' and actually overlooks it because when He looks at us, His children , He sees Jesus and what Jesus did in our behalf!
This does not give us a license to 'do wrong...or sin'.
We will be held accountable because our hearts and conscience will tell us, immediately, when we walk 'out of the secret place' in our love circle with God.
Being right with God, our Heavenly Father, is the only place to be for a child of God.
The children of God are not just a little blessed - they are super-blessed!
My personal Psalm is this...(Psalm 24:12&13)
"Are there those who respect the Lord?
He will point them to the best way.
THE WILL ENJOY A G O O D L I F E and their children will inherit the land..."
Now you know why I can say truthfully...
IT IS A GOOD LIFE!
