I use the word bless and its derivatives over and over in prayer! Most of the time, it is to be blessed or for God to bless someone else. This morning, out of the blue, an old hymn came to mind. It's not really a hymn I especially liked that much but the words came to me vividly. This is my prayer today. And I share it with you!
"Out in the highways and byways of life, many are weary and sad; Carry the sunshine where darkness is rife, making the sorrowing glad. Tell the sweet story of Christ and His love, tell of His power to forgive; others will trust Him if only you prove true, every moment you live. Give as 'twas given to you in your need. Love as the Master loved you; be to the helpless a helper indeed, unto your mission be true. [chorus] Make me a blessing, out of my life may Jesus shine; make me a blessing, O Savior, I pray, make me a blessing to someone today."
