And I think it’s awesome that God connects blessing to those who love others: “and so all went well”. In other words, when we know God and we show it by loving others, God promises blessing. That blessing is part of the benefits package that comes from knowing God! Love God, and show it by loving others — God blesses that kind of life.

Experience God’s amazing blessing today. Whose cause could you take up today? Who could you assist that is poor or has needs? To whom could you show mercy or justice?
