Abundantly Blessed

Greetings!

When I think about my relationship with God one of the first things that comes to mind is how blessed I am that He loves me. It still blows my mind that He not only waited for me, He sent His Son to save me. How awesome is that? We spend so much time running from God that we miss how blessed being in His presence really is. I often wish I had given my life to Him sooner so that I would have more time loving Him...

Just think about it. Before we give our lives to Christ, most of us spend an enormous amount of time trying to find happiness. We play hard, we work hard, and we live hard (although we don't know it at the time). And for a while, we feel that we are having a good time. But it is the kind of life that is dependent on everything working perfectly all the time. That almost never happens.

Here is what I know, in Christ, we are abundantly blessed. In 2 Corinthians 9:8 says, "And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work." With Christ, we don't have to worry about things making us happy or making us feel good because everything we need is found in Him. God will supply our every need. He actually will give us more than what we need. His word says that He will give us exceedingly abundantly above all we can ask or think (Eph. 3:20). How's that for abundantly blessed?

God loves us abundantly and that is worth far more than having any material thing. No amount of money will buy the kind of joy that brings...

Until next time...

Be blessed
