Blessings

For my dear father Tim!

 

"I will make you into a great nation and I will bless you; 

I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing. 

I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; 

and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you." 

(Genesis 12:2-3)

"The LORD bless you and keep you; 

the LORD make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you; 

the LORD turn his face toward you and give you peace."  

(Numbers 6:24-26)

"May God be gracious to us and bless us and make his face shine upon us, 

that your ways may be known on earth, your salvation among all nations."

(Psalm 67:1-2)

"Blessed are the poor in spirit,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are those who mourn,
for they will be comforted.
Blessed are the meek,
for they will inherit the earth.
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
for they will be filled.
Blessed are the merciful,
for they will be shown mercy.
Blessed are the pure in heart,
for they will see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers,
for they will be called sons of God.
Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you."

(Matthew 5:2-12)

"Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, 

who has blessed us in the heavenly realms 

with every spiritual blessing in Christ."
(Ephesians 1:3)
