What Has God Blessed Us With?

Continuing on in Ephesians. Chapter 1 verse 3 says that God has “blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ.”

Again going to my application Bible, it says this means that in Christ we have all the benefits of knowing God: chosen for salvation, being adopted as His children, forgiveness, insight, the gifts of the Holy Spirit, power to do God’s will, the hope of living forever with Christ. Because we have a relationship with Christ we can enjoy these blessings now, but they are also eternal.

I hope no one minds a few "commercials" for my online store. I don't do it often in this blog, but Christmas will be here before we know it and I do think these make great gifts!

Those who really know how to enjoy life are the ones who take each day as a gift from God, thanking Him for it and serving Him in it.
If we start our prayers with thanksgiving to God everything else falls into place.

If we start remembering and realizing everything God has done for us and given to us, we have a grateful heart. And a grateful heart spills out in love. Love for God, love for other people, love for yourself and love for God’s world.

Count your blessings and inspire others to start counting theirs. These make beautiful and meaningful gifts for those you love.
