God's Ascribed Blessing

God's Ascribed Blessing

Breath.

At what point in time do we make the transition from blessed to cursed? When pain is added to the breath we take, or when difficulty intrudes on a simple step? Being free from hardship and suffering, missing the lessons gained from the "school of Hard knocks" does not diminish the ability to minister compassionately.

We should however be cognizant of our stance when operating from our ascribed blessing, knowing it as well has hardship comes from the hand of God who, works all things out for the good of those who love him. Our blessing is not meant for us, and neither is our hardship, both are meant for God. Our blessing, is meant for those who currently find themselves in the particular void of hardship our blessing is meant to perfectly fill, as if prescribed by the very hand of God the hardship someone else is going through. It is here, in the third element, the context of genuine relationships, we find ourselves meshing blessing and hardship in perfect unison – the great winner on all three fronts is God.
