Personal Guidance
Blessings from genuinely qualified souls protect a person from premature death and lead them to perfection. Whom we are blessed by — not whom we boast about — quietly shapes our trajectory.
Reflection Questions
- Whose blessings am I currently living under, consciously or unconsciously?
- Am I cultivating relationships with persons whose blessings would actually be worth receiving?
