Sometimes when life treats us very harshly we tend to think that things will never change, but today I come bearing good news for you; do not allow you circumstance to dictate your destiny. The fact that you are suffering today does not mean that you will never be successful. I want to declare to you that if you are a Christian, then you are blessed and no one can change that, your future is bright and your tomorrow is better than today
Genesis 12:3 And I will bless them that bless you, and curse him that curses you: and in you shall all families of the earth be blessed.

I will give you twelve reasons why I believe that you are blessed beyond imagination as Christian, I hope that this will boost up you self esteem and cause you to live your life differently

As you can see everything around you says that you are blessed, you need to stop thinking that misfortune follows you for the kind of blessing that follows you can not be undone. You are blessed and no one can change it!
Numbers 23:19-20 God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: has he said, and shall he not do it? Or has he spoken, and shall he not make it good? Behold, I have received commandment to bless: and he has blessed; and I cannot reverse it.
Nehemiah 13:2 Because they met not the children of Israel with bread and with water, but hired Balaam against them, that he should curse them: however our God turned the curse into a blessing.
