Focusing on God's Blessings, Not Our Losses

"COUNT YOUR MANY BLESSINGS AND NAME THEM ONE BY ONE".
Greetings to you all and I want to equally wish you a happy new month in advance. We all are anticipating the new months which would be in the next few hours, I am sure we know that it is the eleventh month and that means the year 2024 is gradually coming to an end.

When this year started, I can remember hearing people make new year resolutions, having new thoughts, plans and aspirations to be accomplished within the span of 365 days. Obviously I did same, I got plans, dreams and things to do and to let go of things that are not working out.

I would want you to kindly reflect on the things you promised yourself, carefully and sincerely write out things you were able to accomplish and the ones you were not able to. Now, I am sure its not everything we were able to do. Take a deep breath and begin to count all the blessings you have had since this year started, name them one after the other. you will be surprised to see all what God has done for you.

In his word in the book of PSALM103:1-5: "Bless the LORD, O my soul: And all that is within me, bless his holy name. Bless the LORD, O my soul, And forget not all his benefits: Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; Who healeth all thy diseases; Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; Who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies; Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; So that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's.

Beloveth. I am not writing this to remind you of your loses this year but rather I want you to always focus on the blessings God has given you and not on the loses, not on the disappointment, not on that failure you encountered etc.

This year may not have been your favorite year, at some point you felt like letting go, at some point you felt like it is all over, you felt like all hope is gone, We've all faced losses, setbacks, and challenges. But today, I am reminding you to focus on God's blessings, not our losses.
