The purpose of a blessing is to confer happiness and to multiply good. The blessings of God are universal and infinite and are bestowed impartially upon all that has its source in Him. Our lives are blessed in this present state in the measure that we manifest the divine nature and express such spiritual ideas as loving our neighbor and being trustworthy and active in goodness in whatever we are doing.
In the Beatitudes, Christ Jesus made it clear that God blesses what He makes: our spirituality, our magnanimity, our love, but not our materialism, our quarrelsomeness, our resentment. Jesus declared that it is the meek, the merciful, the pure in heart, the peacemakers who receive the divine blessing.
In absolute truth, Love's creation is eternally unfolding greater depths of good, broader views of creation, higher meanings of existence. And this is true because God's blessing of His creation produces its perpetual development. Mary Baker Eddy says in "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" (p. 517), "Divine Love blesses its own ideas, and causes them to multiply, —to manifest His power."
