YOU WILL ALWAYS BE BLESSED! (POEM)

Intro:
Every year on her birthday, I celebrate and admonish my niece, Ezinne, with a poem. In today’s poem, by God’s grace, I remind her of her blessed heritage and obligations to others as well. This is in light of my belief that the value of a person’s life is in their reverence for God and usefulness to others. Read and be blessed!

YOU WILL ALWAYS BE BLESSED!

The generation of the upright shall be blessed
That is the promise of God
They shall be head wherever they are placed
That is their heritage forever
And because that is who you are
I remind you on this special day
To never take “No” for an answer
To know that everything is possible
To constantly go for the best
To pursue your purpose to the hilt
‘Cause you will always be blessed

And since by grace your blessing is sure
Reach out to those who struggle
Share your goods with the poor
Tell the world of the Christ in you
Explain the difference He can make
How wrapped in Him is all they need
Theirs if the way of salvation they take
Live out His word so they can see
The gospel is the path to rest
Obedience to the Lord is peace
The faithful will always be blessed

Happy birthday, sweetie!

    Live out his word so they can see gospel is the path to rest. If happiness is every man’s number one goal, and you can get it by impacting positively into the next person’s life, why is it hard to do? Be a positive influence to people and watch it go viral like disease. That is how to feed the five thousand when you are not Jesus.
