Life is a reflex of mental states. As far as you are concerned, the character that things will bear will be the character that you first impress upon them. Bless a thing and it will bless you. Curse it and it will curse you. If you put your condemnation upon anything in life, it will hit back at you and hurt you. If you bless any situation, it has no power to hurt you, and even if it is troublesome for a time it will gradually fade out.
Bless your body. If there is anything wrong with a particular organ, bless that organ. Bless your home. Bless your business. Bless your associates. Turn any seeming enemies into friends by blessing them. Bless the climate. Bless the town, and the state, and the country.
Bless a thing and it will bless you.
So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. (Isaiah 55:11).
How strange it seems to bless that which plagues us, yet that is the way to turn any negative into a positive. If we keep in mind that the nature of anything we experience is determined by our thoughts about it, then it makes sense to bless that which curses us. Beyond that, we should ask ourselves whether we want to spend our days blessing or cursing things. From either point of view, the answer seems clear. Blessing all things around us is a sure way to spend more time in our Garden in peace, harmony and joy.
