Am I Blessed?
What is a blessing? I might ask.
Is it when we complete a task?
Or when we get a thing we want?
Or when we do a tricky stunt?
Are we blessed when things go our way?
And not, when there’s a bad hair day?
The wealthy blessed, when poor are not?
The first remembered—last forgot?
What is it to be blessed by God?
To others Jesus sounded odd.
He said the blessed are mournful, meek,
the merciful, truthful, and weak.
Ones who value what’s good and right.
delight in truth, for peace they fight
and get in trouble doing good,
stick up for Jesus as they should.
God’s favor rests on those who dare
to live Christ’s Word, His love and care.
They value eternal reward,
not what this old world can afford.
