The blessings you have in Christ
Jenny Lee
Physical blessings are wonderful but spiritual blessings are far better. Our physical blessings are temporal but our spiritual blessings are secure. They are ours for eternity.
The book of Ephesians tells us that in Christ you have been blessed with every blessing in the heavenly places. The word “every” shows God’s incredible goodness to you. Below are just some of the spiritual blessings (from Ephesians chapters 1 and 2) that you have through Jesus Christ.
You are loved.
You are chosen.
You are a part of God’s family.
You are redeemed.
You are forgiven.
You have peace with God.
You are holy and without blame.
You are sealed with the Holy Spirit.
You have been created for good works that He already prepared for you.
You have His great power working in you.
You have an inheritance.
You have hope.
Charles Spurgeon says this all so well:
“Our thanks are due to God for all temporal blessings; they are more than we deserve. But our thanks ought to go to God in thunders of hallelujahs for spiritual blessings. A new heart is better than a new coat. To feed on Christ is better than to have the best earthly food. To be an heir of God is better than being the heir of the greatest nobleman. To have God for our portion is blessed, infinitely more blessed than to own broad acres of land. God hath blessed us with spiritual blessings. These are the rarest, the richest, the most enduring of all blessings; they are priceless in value.”
So many blessings, so many reasons to be thankful. May your heart be full and your day blessed as you think about all your blessings in Christ.

Making December Meaningful
This is so hard to share. I never thought I’d be sharing a post like this. Friends, I can’t pretend like everything‘s been okay. Social media can make it seem that everything is great when it's not. There's no easy way to say what I have to say, so here it goes...My life has been in turmoil. I have been living in the darkest place these last two years. I have experienced devastation words can’t describe. Betrayal by my best friend and love of my life hurts to the deepest place of the heart. There have been days when I just wanted Jesus to take me home. That’s the best way for me to describe this deep hurt. I desperately wanted to be in a place without tears, pain, and suffering. A divorce is never something I imagined, but that’s what it’s come to. This is my reality, I am divorced. I have not been able to say anything until now because I have been mentally and emotionally drained. Shock, anger, confusion, and sadness have been overwhelming me. I am doing so much better now as I’m learning to rest in the Lord, and trust that He is with me in this place. He is holding me and sustaining me. I’m healing and moving forward, and trusting that He will provide day by day for all my needs. A lot is changing, but my main goal in life remains the same, to share God‘s word and tell of the faithful love of Jesus. I look forward to sharing with you more of the goodness and mercy He has shown me during this time. If like me, you also are walking through a dark time and Jesus lives in your heart, I want to encourage you that you have never been alone, not one single moment. He is with you, my friend, and He is always faithful. If you have never asked Jesus to come into your heart, take time to invite Him in. He will be a constant source of love and comfort. And He will give you hope to continue on. "I will never leave you nor forsake you". So we can confidently say, "The Lord is my helper; I will not fear...". Hebrews 13:5-6 If you are seeing this through my Facebook link, please don’t comment on the post, as what I’ve shared is very sensitive. I would love to hear from you but please direct message me on Facebook or send an email by scrolling down and pressing contact at the bottom of this page. I really appreciate your love, support and prayers for both me and my family in this time. ❤️Jenny Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me... Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the LORD forever. Psalm 23:4,6
