Every Spiritual Blessing

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed you and I in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavens, as He chose you and I in Him, before the foundation of the world, to be holy and without blemish before Him. In love, He destined you and I for adoption to Himself through Christ Jesus." Ephesians 1:3-5

Hetty Green was called "Americas Greatest Miser" because her stinginess was legendary. She wore one old black dress and had only the dirty hem washed. She ate cheap pies and cold oatmeal because she hated spending for heating it. Even if she had millions from her success in real estate and investments, when her son broke his leg as a child, she tried to get him treated in a free clinic. Because of delay and years of poor treatment, his leg had to be amputated. She was wealthy but lived like a pauper. When she died in 1916, she left an estate of $100 million.

We don't want to be like Hetty Green, do we? So let's not wait to discover how rich we are! God has blessed us with EVERY spiritual blessing! That's more valuable than any earthy blessing! More valuable than $100 milllion! And the best part is, He chose us to be adopted into His family! I am super excited about that! Are you?
