Blessed to be a Blessing

Thank you for being a Bette's Box of Blessings customer. Better yet, thank you for being a blessing. Your friendship is not only a blessing to us, but you’re also a blessing to your friends and loved ones. How do I know that? The fact that you are receiving Bette’s Box of Blessings tells me that you are most likely blessing others with gift items from your Box of Blessings.  

In God’s economy when you, with a sincere heart, bless others, He will bless you. How do I know that? God’s Word tells us so! 

A generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed.

Proverbs 11:25 (NIV)

This is more of a spiritual truth, rather than a transactional guarantee. You’ve probably heard the saying, “you can’t out-give God!” If God owns the cattle on a thousand hills (as it says in Psalm 50:10), then my giving someone a card with a gift, or giving someone who’s going through a difficult time an encouraging devotional, pales in comparison to what God can give. Yet He loves us so much that when we do bless others, He blesses us in return. His blessing may come in the form of a smile from the gift recipient; or the peaceful feeling we get when we know we did something meaningful. Or the sense of drawing closer to Him as we think of others first.

The ironic part of all this is that God doesn’t need us to bless others. He’s fully capable of taking care of His people. (Imagine that!) So just maybe, the whole point of us blessing others is more for our benefit than the recipient’s benefit. After all, we truly are blessed when we are a blessing to others.
