CAN YOU STAND TO BE BLESSED!!

"Is not this the carpenter's son? Is not his mother called Mary? Matthew 13:55. Humm. Trying to belittle you bringing the past! My friend, don't worry if they try to resurrect the past in your life. When God gives an assignment, he also gives the skill. Your uncanny ease with numbers tells you that you are a mathematician. Your quenchless curiosity about chemistry tells you that you are a chemical engineer. When I stare at blueprints and yawn; you read them and drool. God gives assignments to people according to their ability. The question is "can you stand to be blessed"? Many people can't and don't survive their own success. Many people lose their own identities in the excitement, and it ebbs, as it always does, they have lost sight of the more important issue of self, home, and family. Once you become accustomed to to your new success and life style, it is very hard to go back to what you once thought was sufficient. Be careful what you ask the Lord, may be you will get it. Brother, don't change your values as you progress. I am hoping that your morality does not change but your sense of what is and what is not acceptable should. To add complexity of this issue, when you are blessed and is in a different place in your life, you are still surrounded by people in the other stage. Learn to deal with envy and criticism. They are the people who called Jesus "the carpenter's son". CAN YOU STAND TO BE BLESSED? YEAH, YEAH, Good!
