Blessed
If you own just one Bible, you are abundantly blessed: 1/3 of the world does not have
access to even one.
If you woke up this morning with more health than illness, you are more blessed than the
million who will not survive the week.
If you have never experienced the danger of battle, the loneliness of imprisonment,
the agony of torture or the pangs of starvation, you are ahead of 500 million people around the world.
If you attend a church meeting without fear of harassment, arrest or torture of death, you
are more blessed than almost three billion people in the world..
If you have food in your refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof over your head
and a place to sleep, you are richer than 75% of this world.
If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in a dish someplace, you
are among the top 8% of the worlds wealthy.
If your parents are still married and/or alive, you are very rare, even in the
United States.
If you hold up your head with a smile on your face and are truly thankful, you are blessed
because the majority can, but most do not.
If you can hold someone's hand, hug them or even touch them on the shoulder, you are
blessed because you can offer God's healing touch.
If you prayed yesterday and today, you are in the minority because you believe in God's
willingness to hear and answer prayer.
If you believe in Jesus as the Son of God, you are part of a very small minority in the
world.
If you can read this, you are more blessed than over two billion people in the world that
cannot read anything at all.
