Welcome to Real Talk with Reginald D. I'm your host, Reginald D. On today's episode, I'm going to talk about the power and counter your blessing. Let's go. Everybody has struggles in life. With life, it always seems like it's one thing or another. The more you try to get ahead, the more setbacks you have. You take two steps forward only to go three steps back. I know it's frustrating and overwhelming at times. But I need you to understand, out of all your struggles, you are still blessed. You still have life in you. You still have your existence. Some people can't say that. You have been blessed with another day. Some people can't say that. Your day may not be going the way you want it to. You just got to make the best out of your situation. I get it. Everything is not going to be perfect. Things are going to go wrong. but you got to understand that it's life, lifing. That's it. When you start counting your blessings, you will become more grateful for your struggles. You become empowered. When you start counting your blessings, the struggles are no longer struggles. They become experiences. You will begin to look at your life differently when you count your blessings. Knowing that you are blessed lets you know that you are not in a state by yourself. You have a connection with God. It may not seem like it, but you do. You have to realize that God is going to turn your troubles into your triumphs. See, some people don't know how blessed they are because they're overthinking when it comes to their struggles. They dwell too deep on their situation instead of focusing on their blessings. I need you to quit stressing so much about your situation. Some things are totally out of your control. Get out of the way and let God handle it. 1 Peter 5 chapter 7 verse says, Cast all your cares on him because he cares for you. There is no need for you and God both to be up all night. Relax, go to sleep and let him work it out. I need you to understand that it's better to count your blessings than to count your troubles. If you keep counting your troubles, you will end up losing your blessings. I've had struggles in my life before and I allowed myself to get so wrapped up in it. I couldn't sleep. I was losing weight and all of this stuff. But when I started looking over my life and started counting my blessings, I realized that I was actually doing okay. When I started counting my blessings and started thinking on the goodness of God and all that he's done for me, I got a whole new perspective about my life. Think about the time that that one thing should have took you out. Think about the time God protected you from your own self. Some of you know you shouldn't be alive right now, but God protected you from danger seen and unseen. He blessed you with His covering. Everybody can't say that. There is something about you that He had to protect. There is a gift and purpose inside of you that He had to protect. Do you ever sit back and think that the reason you're struggling is because God wants more from you? When are you going to be obedient? You will find yourself happier when you stop being grateful for the simple things in life. It's all in the way you look at things. Take a cup, for instance. People are more concerned and grateful for what's inside of the cup instead of the cup itself. Without the cup, everything else that you're trying to pour or drink won't work. But as long as you got the cup, you can figure out what you want to put in it. You have a choice. But without it, you don't have a choice. That's why the cup is so important. Even the Bible talks about a cup. It says in the scripture, my cup runneth over, which means you have more than enough for your needs. And if you don't, keep pouring into your cup. That cup is you. Keep pouring positive things into yourself. Keep pouring powerful things into yourself. Keep pouring greatness into yourself. Keep pouring, keep pouring, keep pouring. and one day your cup is going to run over with blessings after blessings after blessings. You always have more blessings than problems. Your problems seem more because you count, measure, and analyze them more than you do your blessings. If you count your blessings, you will see that they outnumber your problems. I need you to count your blessings and not your troubles. Lay your troubles down and raise your blessings up. Count your blessings That is the seed to your breakthrough. I need you to realize that life is going to be tough at times, but you are blessed with strength and heart to overcome it. You have to understand that blessings is thousands of small miracles. You just got to notice them. Do you notice people out there that's praying for what you take for granted? There are people out there praying for their next meal right now. count your blessings, do not take your blessings for granted because it will end up shaming you when you look in the mirror. I need you to understand, when you count your blessings, the more blessings you will have to count. It's as simple as that, man. A grateful heart is a magnet for blessings. I need you to know, once you count your blessings, it will set the tone for the rest of your week. No matter what you're going through, with time, all things will find its place. Just be patient. and keep counting your blessings. Remember, patience brings on wisdom. So don't be so anxious. Great things come from consistent effort. Say in life, you have to learn how to rest and not quit. Rest is temporary, but quitting is forever. Rest is rejuvenating yourself to keep going in life. Quitting is giving up on life. You got too much at stake. You can't quit. You got all the excuses in the world. But if you want to win, you better not use one of them. See, when you count your blessings, God will make sure you stay blessed. I need you to start cutting out the noise in your life and in your mind and take a minute to think about how blessed you are. You got to realize whatever you focus on will expand. If you focus on your problems, they will expand. If you focus on your blessings, they will expand. So watch what you focus on. because it will have control and dictate the outcome of your life. In every season of your life, always count your blessings. Don't forget that. It will carry you through your hard times and struggles in life. I need you to count your blessings and watch it renew your hope right when you're about to throw in the towel. See, people think when things get tough that they need to be in a different place. That's why they move or relocate to only find out that the problem is still there. You don't need to be in a different place. You just need to be a different person. Don't let your past dictate your future. Every day is a chance to make a new beginning. Count your blessings and have gratitude. Everything has beauty in it. You just got to see it. Look what God has brought you from. Look what he has brought you through. You have to count your blessing. I need you to keep your faith. Hold on to it. Knowing that he is going to turn your struggles into blessings if you stay faithful to the course. Everything you've been through; God is going to give you a double portion of blessings. While you're going through what you're going through in life, work on things people can't take away from you. That's your mindset, your character, and your work ethic. That's how you become great and unstoppable. I'm going to leave you with this. When you get up every day, look in the mirror and count your blessings. Shift your perspective and begin to see God's blessings in everything. Don't just count your blessings, be a blessing to other people. And when you are weary, restless, and can't sleep, instead of counting sheep, count your blessings.
