Blessed Blessing

As we live, we … become. To “become” is to begin to be: from childhood, we begin to old from young, active to inactive, happy to sad to happy, sleeping to awake, etc. We are constantly becoming, beginning to be … something.

Scripture has much to say about “becoming.” Top of the list [surely] is God’s instruction, “Be holy, because I am holy.” (Leviticus 11:44, 1 Peter 1:16). Another one worthy of note is God’s conversation with Abram in Genesis 12:2, “And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing.” Have you ever watched the television show “Hoarders?” The enormous collection of stuff is astounding! What a shame when we withhold blessings when we are so blessed! Think of the modern-day heroes who have embraced this be-a-blessing command and made it a way of life. Hoarding blessings should never describe a Christian. We are set apart to be givers rather than takers, fully understanding as we are blessed so we can bless others. Since none of us can deny we are blessed, consider if you have become [are becoming] a blessing. Don’t miss an opportunity – be a Blessed Blessing!
