I must mention the principle of the Melchizedekian Priesthood and the seed of Abraham in respect to blessing. We know that Melchizedek blessed Abraham. God had said to Abraham, 'I will bless thee...and thou shalt be a blessing...in thee shall all the families of the earth be blessed.,, First Abraham was blessed, and then he could become a blessing. Blessed to BE A BLESSING! Oh, may the Spirit of God somehow burn this truth indelibly into our hearts. But there is also the realm where men bless in order to be blessed, giving in order to receive, giving and receiving again according to how they have given. 'Give, and it shall be given unto you.,, 'Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.,, 'Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are "hereunto called, that ye should INHERIT A BLESSING.,, This is all true, and most 'faith,, and 'word,, people dwell there. But when the Holy Spirit begins to reveal that higher Order of Melchizedek within your spirit, a vast transforming change begins to take place in your understanding. Gone forever is the desire to give in order to receive, to he merciful so that in some future time you might receive mercy, or to bless with a view to being blessed. Henceforth we begin to see things as God sees them, and from this high and holy vista our purified desire becomes only to BE BLESSED that we may BE A BLESSING. It is not giving to receive, but receiving to give.....
