Is it not enough? It belongs to each of us who know the Lord Jesus. Why, with all we are given, do we whine and cry out for more, for better? Ungrateful. Dissatisfied.
We have it all.
"3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. 4 For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love 5 he predestined us for adoption to sonship through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will— 6 to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves. 7 In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace 8 that he lavished on us. With all wisdom and understanding, 9 he made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ, 10 to be put into effect when the times reach their fulfillment—to bring unity to all things in heaven and on earth under Christ.
11 In him we were also chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will, 12 in order that we, who were the first to put our hope in Christ, might be for the praise of his glory. 13 And you also were included in Christ when you heard the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation. When you believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, 14 who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession—to the praise of his glory." Ephesians 1:3-14
We have it all in Christ. Every spiritual blessing. Grace. Holiness. Hope. Forgiveness. Salvation. Redemption. Adoption. Righteousness. Holiness. Surety--a promise. We are heirs to the Kingdom of God. We need nothing else.
Nothing on this earth--this temporal living space compares with all we have and will have in eternity. We suffer for a just little while. Just a vapor in the wind. And then we have much more than we can begin to comprehend. It's so amazing...we don't deserve any of it. We have no right to anything. But God in His mercy ordains that we are heirs.
Can you even imagine being in the constant presence of God without sorrow, pain, heartache, struggle, night or shadow? No more tears. In our best day we cannot feel the joy we will have when we sit at Christ's feet and go home. Home. I feel wonderful just typing this post. selahV for Today
