The Hebrew word for blessing (Barak) means “to empower to strength.” As followers of Jesus, we are invited to pass on God’s blessing to others through words of affirmation, acts of kindness, compassion and tangible gifts. These everyday moments can become sacred expressions of God’s love.
Make it your purpose to mark each day with an act of blessing by intentionally empowering someone else with encouragement and grace. Pray that the Holy Spirit would give you eyes to see the opportunities around you and the courage to respond, whether it’s a friend, a neighbour, a co-worker or even a complete stranger. Don’t get caught up in how big or small it might feel. Trust the stirrings of the Spirit and act.
