It is remarkable how easy it is to bless others, to speak good things to
and about them, to call forth their beauty and truth, when you yourself are in
touch with your own blessedness. The blessed one always blesses. And people
want to be blessed! This is so apparent wherever you go. No one is brought to
life through curses, gossip, accusations, or blaming. There is so much taking
place around us all the time. And it calls forth only darkness, destruction,
and death. As the “blessed ones,” we can walk through this world and offer
blessings. It doesn’t require much effort. It flows naturally from our hearts.
When we hear within ourselves the voice calling us by name and blessing us, the
darkness no longer distracts us. The voice that calls us the Beloved will give
us words to bless others and reveal to them that they are no less blessed than
we.
