What I consider “blessed” may not always be what God considers “blessed”. To me, a blessed life is one that Is going well and easy. It’s being happy.
God sometimes blesses us by waking us up from out sleep, reminding us what in life is important, increasing our desire for him because nothing else satisfies us. What draws us to God isn’t always what we prefer our lives to be like.
God may bless us by opening our eyes to the fact that we are in a cell with the door open – get out!
Perhaps God‘s blessing is exactly what looks to us like God not caring, or him “being mean “. We can’t see the big picture. He loves us too much to allow us to sleep through our lives not caring about what really matters.
Sometimes maybe what seems to be frustrating circumstances – things that just never seem to work out, the person who just never seems to have time, a situation that we feel could so easily be resolved but isn’t… could some of these be God’s blessing that we just can’t see or understand?
Maybe receiving some of these things we have so wanted would actually be what ends up leading us astray? Or maybe our faith needs to be stronger to receive some of our most hoped for blessings.
No matter what, God loves us and wants what is best for us. We have to trust this is true. He is our biggest blessing.
Confessions of a Reluctant Dreamer 
That is a difficult concept but one I would say a hearty “AMEN” to! Human perspective of “Blessing” can be so different than God’s perspective. What I love about God is He always walks with us so we can talk with Him and lean on Him. His blessings come big and small, fun or challenging. His goodness is in growing us more like Him. For that I am always grateful. For to be like Him is to be at peace, regardless of our human conditions.
