Verse
Blessed to Be a Blessing!
God is not looking for people to walk in
blessings just to live a plush or lavish
lifestyle. He is looking for people with a
giving spirit that He can channel blessings
through. He not only wants you to be blessed,
but He wants others to be blessed through you.
The test of that blessed life is how much of the
blessing you are willing to let flow through your
life.
