Counting your own

The process and action of determining the number that belongs to you.

May your blessings overflow today as you recognize his goodness and grace Champions!

Count your blessings, name them one by one. A line in a very popular older hymn. God resonated " your blessings" in my spirit this morning. So, I thought...let me be still and listen to what he has to say to me. Here goes, each one of us have blessings that are specifically meant for us. Hold on though, too often we spend our time camped out looking at someone else's blessings meant for them and then, bam! We loose our focus. Over the years I have witnessed many times the sadness that others experience because they are so consumed with what someone else has, is, or even what they are doing, that they miss out on what was meant for them. Additionally, when we fail to look inside at the root but are quick to point out someone else's flaws, we miss the mark all together. What was designed for another is frankly none of our business.

With the exception of raising a hallelujah with them when they are in their winning season.

Also, not to forget to embrace them in those difficult seasons.

Blessings come in many different ways. Sometimes, they can be material but in my life, more times than I can count they've been something that touches my very heart and soul. If I had to sum today's post up in one word, it would be stop! Stop looking at other's blessings. Stop, comparing, complaining, and justifying. Just stop! Let go of what you think you want and ask God, what his will for your life is? Then, oh then, your blessings will come to life and you won't be able to count them all!

But let each one test his own work, and then his reason to boast will be in himself alone and not in his neighbor. For each will have to bear his own load.
