Seek to bless

Counting our blessings-
how many have you counted today?








When we think or say the word 'Bless' what comes to mind? Good thoughts I bet. And if it is so then how often do we use it to encourage others? Sometimes or most of the times or rarely? Then again, is it really our desire to bless or to be bless by others? Whatever the answer may be the main focus is to first get an understanding of the word itself.

To bless means to "invoke good upon; to call forth the action of God; to confer God's good on something or someone" -Charles Filmore

This definition sounds great, now let us see how we can seek to take it further by putting it into practice?

How can one bring into existence good upon others?
It all depends what good we are talking about, for Jesus' primary focus was to give, and He only brought nothing but good upon others. This however, was not just any 'good' where some know good and there has to be a little 'bad' mixed into it. For the human eyes can not be justified with only good, but must always want to see a flaw in things. Therefore, the good that I am talking about starts with a capital 'G'. It is the Good that only sees Love in all things. The Good that only awakens and perfects all things. It is the Good that comes from God.

Hence, by seeking to bless we are invoking Good. This can only start however, from our train of thoughts. And if we train it to only seek through the eyes of God then we will only see Good, for in God there is no lie. And this Good only leads us to Truth and that Truth can only be Good. So you can only bring blessings into existence by putting divine energy in your thoughts and consciously or literally speak words of Love, hope, wisdom.

When we have good thoughts, we produce good things, that brings us joy. Then as we speak forth, the words that come out will cause something to happen. It is that simple.

However, we tend to complicate things in our lives by believing that it is impossible to only think, see, feel and speak good. Keep in mind that God is good. God is Love. God is in all things. God is in you. This is the Good that comes from the Divine Consciousness. It is the Good/God that perfects all things by seeing it in its true nature.

It may be a challenge at first to renew our minds with Divine Mind and see all things as Good, yet once we persevere and seek nothing else but God we will be lead to understand our blessing come from God alone.

Therefore, if you would like to start being a blessing to your loved ones, co-workers, friends, even people you may not personally know; start by seeking to only see and want to know the Good in them. If you see bad or something that is contrary from the Spirit of God then you've failed to perceive them through the eyes of God/Love.

By doing this we are calling forth the action of God. The action of God is the Christ within each man, the will of God in action. Therefore, speak forth the Life that is within you. Allow the words that you speak out be the blessings of prosperity, health, divine Self and Happiness.

Remember that counting your blessings doesn't have to be the ones you've received, but the ones that is waiting for you to give. How many have you given today from the sincerity of your heart? Ask yourself, who or how can I invoke Good upon today? No matter what circumstances they are in, the word of God in you does not come back void? Whether you bless someone consciously or out loud, yet with a devoted heart to give your blessings, be willing to seek to be a blessing. For the power of blessing is in your hand. Let the consciousness of blessing others be a constant reminder of giving to the world.

Until then, make it a productive One,
With Love,
Guerdy
