God amazes us with His promises

• God blesses those who obey Him
•  
• If you follow my decrees and are careful to
  obey my commands, I will send you the seasonal
  rains. The land will then yield its crops, and
  the trees of the field will produce their fruit.
  Your threshing season will overlap with the grape
  harvest, and your grape harvest will overlap with
  the season of planting grain. You will eat your
  fill and live securely in your own land.
• Leviticus 2635 NLT

• God blesses us when we seek to please Him
• Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and
  live righteously, and he will give you everything
  you need. Matthew 633 NTL

• Salvation is our greatest blessing
• All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus
  Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual
  blessing in the heavenly realms because we are
  united with Christ.  Even before he made the
  world, God loved us and chose us in Christ to be
  holy and without fault in his eyes.  God decided
  in advance to adopt us into his own family by
  bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ. This
  is what he wanted to do, and it gave him great
  pleasure.  So we praise God for the glorious
  grace he has poured out on us who belong to his
  dear Son. Ephesians 13-6 NLT

  shown mercy.8 God blesses those whose hearts are

• 9 God blesses those who work for peace, for they
  will be called the children of God.10 God blesses
  those who are persecuted for doing right, for the
  Kingdom of Heaven is theirs. 11 God blesses you
  when people mock you and persecute you and lie
  about you and say all sorts of evil things
  against you because you are my followers. 12 Be
  happy about it! Be very glad! For a great reward
  awaits you in heaven. Matthew
  53-12 NLT

• "Blessings"- Laura Story
• "Cause what if your blessings come through
  raindrops? What if Your healing comes through
  tears, and what if a thousand sleepless nights
  are what it takes to know Youre near? What if my
  greatest disappointments or the aching of this
  life is the revealing of a greater thirst this
  world cant satisfy and what if trials of this
  life, the rain, the storms, the hardest nights,
  are your mercies in disguise?"
• "When friends betray us, when darkness seems to
  win, we know the pain reminds this heart that
  this is not, this is not our home, it's not our
  home.
