Luke 24:51-“And it came to pass, while He blessed them, He was parted from them , and carried up into heaven.”
Please remember to read “My Utmost for His Highest” for Today
Jesus kept on blessing as He was parted from His earthly sod.
We should bless each other as a tribute to our God.
Blessing is filled with purpose. Blessing is filled with Praise.
What an epitaph for a believer to bless folk until his final days!
On your final day of ministry, what will your activity be?
Lord help me to be so full of blessing that folk are transformed by Thee.
Transformation is God’s own business. Transfiguration is how Jesus went.
Transferring God’s mantle of blessing is our privilege of imparting what God sent.
So bless each other, dear Pilgrim. Take on God’s mantle of praise.
Jesus parted by giving His Blessing and we should follow His Ways.

JOURNAL JOTTINGS or Points to Ponder- If this was your last day on earth, who would you bless today? If every saint blessed and encouraged everyone they met all day long this world would be so different. Do folk rejoice when you walk into the room or do they scatter and avoid you? Check your blessing thermometer. Maybe you need a blessing adjustment.
Think of folk who have blessed you and who are a blessing to you. Write some thank you notes. (Letter writing, cards and email are simplistic ways to bless folk.)
DEAR LORD, Thank You for Your many blessings to me. Thank You for those saints that You have brought across my life to encourage me. Thank You for the spoken and written blessings that have come my way. Help me to reinvest the privileges of blessing others, for Jesus’ Sake. Make me a blessing to someone to day. For Jesus’ sake, AMEN
