Blessings

God is blessing
He's still blessing...

Unlocked
Released
Immediately
Suddenly
God is blessing...

right now...
—Jonathan Nelson

For the past year, save two weeks, I've been writing about one word—release. At times I thought I knew the road map, where I stood in the cartography of a seeker.

This afternoon I listened to a rousing rendition, a hand clapping interpretation of the song "God is Blessing". I heard the word release or released over and over. God releases his blessings.

Those blessings surround me each and every day—I just need to stop and listen.

How often do I take a moment to release a simple prayer of thanks for the ordinary everyday things in my life and for the moments of grace.

God releases His blessings and His grace. I can't barter for it or earn it. God releases his blessings, His grace, His love freely.

It's easy to get wrapped up in the minutia of the day and miss the blessings of the day.

God is blessing...right now.
