God's blessing 
Wherever you will mention God's name, He will come and bless you (As told in Exodus 20:24)

This is God's blessing's most impressive, dramatic, noble and wise content ever given to man. It contains a very powerful expression of love of it's highest level of purity.
This web site would be far more complete, if we delve into this assurance's philosophical depths to comprehend its meaning. I am aware of my limitations in  expressing even a small part of its glory. It will constitute raw material for many poets and philosophers in the future to come; to express the contents this wondrous blessing contains in a better, more impressive and even more correct manner.

 This type of God's blessing is bestowed upon us naturally. The more God's Name reminds us of a higher, more exalted content and feelings and the greater our readiness to accept it, the greater will the blessing's power be and vice versa.

Remarks
 It is not surprising to observe that God encourages us to  mention His name. The reason behind this is self-evident.
 
Unfortunately the religion of Israel forbids uttering God's name outside of prayer and reading the Bible. In so doing, it deprives us of this wonderful blessing.


God's Name may remind us of:

The love of man at a similar level of purity and intensity as the love of God;

The love of God, for its own sake, which includes approaching Him, with its wondrous benefits;

That you have been created in God's image and to accept this truth. This will lead you to accept that you are a positive, wise and developing creation, thereby encouraging you to identify and realize the divine process, including its splendor.

God's  generosity displayed towards you in your life's most difficult hours; your eternal gratitude to it and the faith that He will continue to do so in the future to come;

God's uniqueness and generosity, displayed  in creating man, and gratitude for all He has provided you;

God's numerous, loving entreaties to man, in order to acquire his trust, accept His dramatic advice and return to man's proper path.

As regards the domains of implementation
This  blessing fits in every area of man's life. For example:

First and foremost it can help you to realize your purpose, to aid others to receive this blessing with all that it provides.
Supply
you with the necessary forces to quickly recover from a difficult illness, or a tragedy that befell you.

Supply you with the spiritual forces and ideas you need to extricate yourselves from a dangerous or embarrassing situation, where no way out is in sight.
The blessing will also assist you to attain the qualities and capacities you cherish, or to improve them, and of course, to attain the right ideas and encouragement while you act with love to provide the other with something of value.

This approach, similarly to many others mentioned in this web site, is an overture of love, and you should respond to it with love.

It can therefore be said that before us stands a wise process, which constructs an additional channel for the expression of this special love, with all its accompanying benefits.
It does not matter how often you have expressed God's Name – if this Name reminds you of nothing, you will sense no blessing, not during prayer or in a conversation with people, not within your contemplations and not even when you turn to God requesting help.

Therefore, develop a suitable content that God's Name should bring to your recollection and also adopt habits of remembering His Name. Form a habit of automatically recalling the content you have now developed, whenever you remember His Name.

Respond emotionally to this content, express your gratitude and love towards God with every recollection. In forming these habits, you have awakened those constructive forces within you that will furnish you with an additional, powerful lever towards the successful implementation,   of your divine purpose.

Note: This declaration also says:
"I, God, wish to be in contact with you. I suppose you too wish for that. Moreover: I suppose you need this bond. You can attain this by remembering the Good that My Name signifies to you.
Every person has channels, which connect to Me. But in most people, these channels are blocked. They will open up when you remember me frequently. The matter depends only on you. Hence, for the sake of us both, let us be in genuine contact and clear these blockages in order to achieve this connection."

In conclusion, one could say that a person with high self-esteem could make good use of this, but also an individual who regards himself as a positive, wise and evolving creation can do it.
