The Reason

Psalm 34:1-3 (NKJV) 34 I will bless the Lord at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth. ² My soul shall make its boast in the Lord;
The humble shall hear of it and be glad. ³ Oh, magnify the Lord with me,
And let us exalt His name together.

            Sometimes I'm looked at like I'm crazy, like I talk about God too much.  Like every like aspect or instance of my life doesn't revolve around Him.  As if He doesn't have His hand in everything I do and if He doesn't then I'm the one making the mistake because He should! 

            God has been better to me than I ever could to myself.  He has carried me through every trial and tribulation I have ever had to go through.  He's kept me in spite of myself and because of His unconditional love and faithfulness. He has kept my husband and children safe with His hedge of protection and brought joy to our lives.  I can't even begin to tell all that the Lord has blessed me with.  I have truly been through too much not to worship Him.  My soul cries out because of His goodness and my prayer is that through my walk and through my talk I exalt Him just as He should be!  That everyone I encounter can see His light shining through me and reflecting off of my life.

            To bless the Lord is to honor and glorify Him with the highest of praise because He is worthy of all our praise.  Everything we have, everything we are is because of Him and His blessings that flow down on us.  There is not a moment in time that we can't find something to thank God for.  The breath in our bodies, our husbands, wives and children are reasons to praise Him.  Our jobs and the money they provide to take care of us and our needs…the list is never ending of reasons to praise and worship Him. 

            So…if I offend you with my continual talk with Jesus, with my constant reference to His goodness to me and my family or if I act like He has His hand in every detail of my life, don't expect me to apologize because I won't.  He is the reason for my life, the reason I am here and He deserves all of my praise!

You're Blessed because Jesus loves you!
