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).
So, who wants to bless a cold, a stumped toe or major hurts and challenges in our lives. Probably not very many of us want to bless negative situations. Neither do we really want to forgive those who wrong us or threaten us. Yet, that is exactly what the Bible proscribes as the required response.
In all this writer’s experience, blessings things always led to more blessings, and cursing things led to more cursing. We may not feel like blessing a thing or person. But we should ask ourselves, “would we prefer more blessings or more curses?”.
Now which do we want more of; the choice is ours.
Choosing blessings,

Thanks. I was in the process of cursing someone when this came in. I will try to do differently.
