To be blessed is more than a feeling of happiness. By dictionary definition it means - to be holy, sanctified, sacred... supremely favored. How does one become supremely favored? Consider Psalm 32:1-2
Blessed is he whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered. Blessed is the man whose sin the Lord does not count against him and in whose spirit is no deceit. NIV Or~
Matthew 5:8
Blessed are the pure in heart for they will see God.
Psalm 33:12
Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people who chose his inheritance.
Luke 1:45
Blessed is she who has believed that what the Lord has said to her will be accomplished!
To be blessed is to know God through his son Jesus. And, there's nothing God wants more than to know us.
So be blessed!
Yes, I am blessed. Anyone who knows our Lord is extremely blessed. Good message, Mary.
