Today, I want to give you a blessing. Straight from the heart of God. Quite frankly, I think you need it. I know I do. This blessing is a reminder, and it has always been here, waiting for you and me.
Whatever you are struggling with, God sees you. Our Heavenly Father hears your prayers and is answering them, even if you do not realize it. The Lord loves you and cares about every detail of your life. So open up your heart and mind today and receive this word, a blessing for you.
As we dive into the scriptures, we see verse after verse of God speaking to His people. That’s us. We are His people and He loves us so much. Our Holy Bible is a love story from God to us. So today, I want to echo a blessing into you and your life, in hopes you will see how much the Father loves you.
The Lord loves you!
“The Lord bless you
and keep you;
25 the Lord make his face shine on you
and be gracious to you;
26 the Lord turn his face toward you
and give you peace.”
The other day, I was outside sitting on my patio. The cloud cover was thick, but as I sat there with my eyes closed, I could hear the birds chirping in the trees. All of a sudden, the sun began to peek out from behind the clouds. I remained there with my eyes closed, as the sun began to warm my face. It was so comforting. In moments like these, I always feel like God’s face is shining on me.
“The Lord bless you and keep you.”
It is important to know that God is with us. But, more than that, He is for us.
Deuteronomy 31:8 says, “The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.”
I am comforted at the thought that God goes before me. It reminds me of this old prayer that goes like this;
“God go before you to lead you, God go behind you to protect you, God go beneath you to support you, God go beside you to befriend you. Do not be afraid. May the blessing of God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit be upon you. Do not be afraid.”
He really does go before us and behind us. We know this because the Word tells us so. There is comfort in knowing no matter what situation we find ourselves in, God is with us. Often fighting for us as a parent fights for a child. So lift up your voices and shout “Amen” because God is with you!
There is this song called “The Blessing” that I have come to love. I want you to hear, sing it, and believe it. Receive it as a blessing specifically for you and your family and know God loves you so much.

Let us pray,
God, thank you for this blessing today. Thank you for shining your face upon us and giving us your peace. Continue to pour your Spirit out upon us so that we may know You more. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
