Abundantly Blessed

(Read the previous devotion here.)

Ephesians 1:3–6

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places.”

Ephesians 1:3

What an amazing truth to know that God has blessed us with every spiritual blessing. The scripture is clear when it states “EVERY,” not “a few” or “some.” We are never forgotten; we were chosen even before the world existed to be His children.

Our life matters to our Heavenly Father. Despite our sinful nature and our mistakes, God accepts us just as we are. This is not because we are worthy of His unfailing love, but because of His glorious grace that we find only through our Lord and Savior, Jesus.

Whenever you feel rejected, unloved, or unworthy, remember who you are in Christ. You are a child of the most-High God. The Maker of the universe chose you and bestowed on you every spiritual blessing to live an abundantly blessed life.

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, thank You for loving me the way You do. Help me to live in the fullness of your love, and in doing so, help me help others live their best lives in Jesus. In Jesus’ name we pray, amen.
