“How blessed is God! And what a blessing he is! He’s the Father of our Master, Jesus Christ, and takes us to the high places of blessing in him.” (The Message)

When I think about all the blessings of God, and knowing God through Christ, I can be overwhelmed.  I have been blessed by God with every spiritual blessing through Jesus Christ so I can be a blessing TO OTHERS.

• I am chosen in him from eternity past, so that I can be holy and blameless. NO SHAME.
• I am predestined by His love for adoption as his child.  NO ALONENESS.
• His purpose is my adoption, and my purpose is to live to praise His grace.  PURPOSE for my life.
• I am blessed by His glorious Grace:  UNDESERVED.  LAVISH.  UNENDING. 
• I am redeemed by His blood.  BOUGHT FROM BONDAGE TO MY FLESH AND THE WORLD.  SET FREE.
• All of my sins, past, present and future, are forgiven, because His grace is that rich and lavish.  FORGIVEN. 
• He lavished His grace upon me, along with wisdom and insight, so that I could know the mystery of His will which is this:  In Christ, all things, all people, all creation, one in Him, in heaven and on earth. UNITY.
• I have an inheritance in Jesus.  Guaranteed by the sealing of His Spirit.  FUTURE GRACE.
• I am predestined according to His purpose, which is that all things work according to His will.  SECURE IN HIS WILL FOR MY LIFE.
• I live to bring praise to His Glory.  MEANING TO THIS LIFE AND THE NEXT.
• I have heard His truth, the Good News, and I have believed in Him, SO I am sealed by His Holy Spirit.  The Holy Spirit guarantees my inheritance until I get full possession of it in eternity.  SECURE NOW AND ABUNDANCE THEN.
