When you take time to meditate on all that God is, what are your deepest and most honest thoughts? I’m talking about when you are all alone and being truly honest about your feelings and thoughts. How do you see him? Does he love you? Is he for you? Does he look at you with pleasure, or do you perceive him as frustrated with you?

The more I study the word, the more I see God’s heart towards us. What I have found out is that he indeed is in love with us! His greatest passion is to bless us with all that he is! Convinced of God’s heart to bless him, David wrote the following Scripture.

Psalms 5:12 For surely, O Lord, you bless the righteous; you surround them with your favor as with a shield.

King David was sure in his heart that God wanted to bless him! We see God blessing those who are his all throughout Scripture. God not only blessed them in a spiritual sense, but he also blessed them with natural wealth.

Genesis 24:1 Abraham was now old and well advanced in years, and the Lord had blessed him in every way.

Look at what God spoke through apostle Paul to the Corinthian believers.

2 Corinthians 9:10-11 Now he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness. You will be made rich in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us, your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God.

When we say God loves us, what do we mean? Is his type of love some weird love that wants us to obey but doesn’t want to do good things for us? Of course, the greatest blessing God can give us is not money or material things! Without question, our greatest blessing is God himself! We must also note, though, that according to the Bible, God longs to bless us in every way; spiritually, physically, financially, socially, and in every other way! Faith pleases God the most (Hebrews 11:6) because it alone is what taps us into all that God wants to bless us with! Having this kind of relationship with God requires accepting his incredible love as declared by the shed blood of Jesus Christ at the cross!

We must believe that the love God has for us is the kind of love that wants to bless us in every way! Look at what Jesus said.

Matthew 7:11 If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!

Believing God is the only way to access the incredible goodness of God! Faith is the connection between heaven and earth!

I pray that this Encouraging Note inspires you to consider God’s precious thoughts towards you. His love for you is true, genuine, secure, and best of all, not based upon your works! Please take time to consider and surrender to the amazing love of God because he longs for you to be…

BLESSED IN EVERY WAY
