Bestowing Blessing

The King bestows blessing. When he sees someone and says so, it changes them. His approval gives people the ground to stand on so they can finally step forward and claim what's already theirs.

The Tyrant withholds blessing to control. He keeps others hungry for approval that never comes. Or he blesses only favorites, creating competition for his favor. The Victim has no blessing to give. He feels too small, too unworthy to confer anything on anyone. The Mature King blesses freely. His cup overflows with abundance. He blesses people, land, weather, seeds, animals, relationships, food, and processes. His blessing brings health and energy to his realm.

Blessing includes:

Recognition: The King sees people clearly and completely. He notices their gifts, their efforts, their growth. Being truly seen by the King matters.

Approval: The King says yes. He affirms worth, validates choices, endorses paths. His genuine approval gives lasting confidence.

Encouragement: The King speaks to potential. He names what someone could become and believes they'll get there.

Favor: The King opens doors. He shares resources, makes introductions, creates opportunities.

A father's blessing gets into a child's bones. Kids who get it grow up knowing they belong in the world. Kids who don't spend decades looking for it in all the wrong places. That wound never quite closes on its own.

Blessing flows from a man who knows who he is. The King has to sit firmly on his own throne before he can hand out anything real from it. A man who doubts his own worth has nothing to give anyone else.

The King who blesses well builds a world where people actually believe in themselves. His children grow up solid. His partner feels like she matters. The people he leads start showing up differently because someone finally told them what he saw in them. That kind of thing spreads.

Blessing is the King's duty and privilege. He has something precious to give. He gives it freely.
