Blessings

This past week I have been noticing some littler things in life that I have been blessed with. From certain experiences lately, I KNOW that God hears our prayers and He answers them, even if they're silly requests or concerns He hears ALL of them. If it's important to you, it's important to Him. I have found this to be true. Sometimes we don't get the answers we expect and sometimes we do. I feel like even though I am not trying my very hardest to do everything I'm supposed to, He STILL blesses me, even with the little things. I think it's His way of saying He loves me, and He is aware of me. I feel like He's saying, "See, obedience brings blessings."

If someone were to tell me that they don't think God loves them or cares about them, I would dare them to pray and ask for a witness/sign/answer. I know they would get one. Sometimes I think we look for lightning bolts or huge things as a sign that God loves us, knows us and hears our prayers but I have found that a lot of the time it's in smaller things that are only noticed in the quieter, more peaceful moments of our lives.

We have been blessed with SO much. God has given us EVERYTHING we have and nothing is coincidence. He blesses you even when you aren't doing your very best BECAUSE He knows you, He loves you and He wants you to be happy.
