The Hebrew word for blessed also means happy, but when we realize the magnitude of what the Lord has done in our life…happy is hardly the adequate word to explain how we feel. For when we’re far away from God, our life revolves around our selfish desires and rebellious acts of rejecting God’s authority. But when the Lord comes into our life and forgives all our sins and we finally come to a personal reckoning of this marvelous transformation… we’re more than just happy. There’s a profound feeling of freedom…a overwhelming sense of gratitude…and the emotion of utter joy as we marvel in our new life in Christ.
