Blessing is the projection of good into the life of another. It isn't just words. It's the actual putting forth of your will for the good of another person. It always involves God, because when you will the good of another person, you realize only God is capable of bringing that. So we naturally say, "God bless you."

Pray
Jesus, thank You for fulfilling the Law, perfectly. Thank You for keeping Your promise. Thank You for being the ultimate example of service and blessing. Help me remember all of the ways You have blessed me so that I can be blessing to others. Help me see the opportunities You are going to give me this week to serve people around me. In these last few moments of prayer, is there anything You want me to know? [spend a few silent seconds listening] I pray all of these things in Your name, Jesus. Amen.
