Just in case you haven't already noticed I am all about finding ways to bless others in these challenges! This challenge is not going to be any different. What will be different will be the fact that the person on the receiving end hopefully will have no idea whom to thank for the blessing being bestowed upon them. I’m calling this challenge “Undercover Blessings.” In other words, our kindness should be seen, but we should not. The truth of the matter should always be this, it is never a good practice to have the recognition being put on us for our kindness that we pass along. The recognition should always go directly to the Lord himself. After all, it is the Lord who enables us to bless in the first place. Our actions and words should point others to Christ, not point them to ourselves. This month we are going to focus on blessing others and trying to keep from being recognized that it was us doing those blessings. You can choose to perform your undercover blessing acts upon those you know, or complete strangers if you would like, but the point is, try not to get caught “red handed.” I personally am aiming to bless those who know me well, this way I can see if I can “get away” with it. This might take some forethought and careful planning if you are planning one blessing close friends or family members. Try to bless at least one person each week without being “caught” this month. My hope is that you get as much joy out of blessing someone as they do out of being blessed!
Please feel free to share some of your stories. I would love to hear some of the creative ways you have chosen to secretively bless others. Have fun sneaking around and showering blessings on others this month!
