4 Simple Reasons For Counting Blessings

Blessings are the destroyers of discouragement.

Yet To Be #149

They Live – counting each blessing allows us to name them. Giving every blessing a label gives it life. It becomes tangible evide6nce of His mercy, grace, and love towards us. 

Destroyers of Discouragement – naming each blessing drives any discouragement, dark thoughts, self-pity, depression, or sorrow away. Every blessing is a symbol of hope in this dark and evil world.

Unforgettable – every blessing is a gift or favor from God. We come to realize and acknowledge His faithfulness. We are not forsaken or forgotten.

Blessings Galore – naming one blessing multiplies into many. We think of one then another comes to mind, and soon we see that God is most generous with His love towards us. 

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above. James 1:17

Blessed be the Lord, who daily loads us with benefits. Psalm 68:19

Under the name Francis Lee, I write interracial Christian romantic suspense. My stories are about finding enduring love when hope and redemption seem unattainable as danger lurks around every corner. My characters learn that where there is darkness, "joy will always come in the morning".

  1. You are so right. When I awake from my pity party and become rebellious to my shame and regret I am reminded “what is it you have not received” I then count my blessings one by one and I realize they are innumerable. Thank you so much for your encouragement.
