The Priestly Blessing from Numbers 6 reveals five gifts God wants to give every person: protection, presence, favor, peace, and identity. One of the most important things to understand is that being blessed does not mean life will be easy. It means God is with you in the middle of difficulty, not keeping you from it. The word 'you' in the blessing is singular, meaning God sees and addresses each person individually. His face shines toward you with warmth and grace, not disappointment or disapproval. The peace God promises is not the absence of crisis but the presence of Christ in the middle of one. Because God blesses us, we are called to turn around and be a blessing to the people around us.
