To be blessed is to have a share in the glory of God’s grace.  Most people talk of being blessed with reference to good health, family, wealth, happiness, status, and material goods. But if we look to the Bible, we can see that being blessed means something different entirely — and those who are truly blessed aren’t the ones you might expect. Matthew 5:5-12 lists those who are blessed, which includes the meek, the righteous, the merciful, the pure in heart, the peacemakers, and the persecuted.  From this, we can understand that a blessing isn’t a simple stroke of good fortune but rather a state of being that exemplifies Christianity’s compassionate principles.
