Most of us want to be blessed and be a blessing. I mean we want to be blessed by the Lord and bless others.

Who are the people, the Lord is blessing?

1. The people the Lord is blessing are the humble people. – HUMILITY

Humble people are conscious of their failings. They don’t pretend. They are lowly.

2. They are honest people. – INTEGRITY

Honest people are unimpaired, they are sound.

“Count your blessings”

3. They are genuine people. – AUTHENTICITY

You can trust them. They are reliable.

4. They are people who love others. – LOVE

You love someone, when you feel attached to that person, when you have affections for that person.  And what does the Bible say about  love in First Corinthians 13:4-8? It begins with: “Love is patient, love is kind,” Please read the next verses!

WHAT MAKES ME SAY THAT?

There is one World Evangelist the Lord has blessed and who has been a blessing and that is Billy Graham. In the foreword of the book BILLY GRAHAM AND ME by Steve Posner & Amy Newark, the PR-expert Larry Ross summarizes the life of Billy Graham with these four words:

HUMILITY, INTEGRITY, AUTHENTICITY AND LOVE.
