Day 37: I Am Blessed to be a Blessing to Others!
An infinite God can give all of Himself to each of His children. He does not distribute Himself that each may have a part, but to each one He gives all of Himself as fully as if there were no others. As God has given to us, let us therefore be the greatest blessing to a world who needs blessings.
