Spiritual blessings 

Let us give thanks to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! For in our union with Christ he has blessed us by giving us every spiritual blessing in the heavenly world. Ephesians 1:3

Can you imagine the news headlines ‘Church Planter now under arrest!’? This was the headline, as Paul the apostle, preacher and writer, was imprisoned time and time again. Living in utter isolation in pain and in tears, Paul never knew the impact his letters written from prison would have until this day. His words are the bedrock of the Christian faith throughout the ages. His words were preserved with the same care as the writings of the patriarchs, prophets and psalmists. I am the fruit of his words, maybe you are too. Paul is seated today with the millions and millions of those who have been changed eternally by his story and that is a blessing.

Are you imprisoned today? Under house arrest? Are you in a season of transition, not knowing what the future holds? Hang on! You were designed before the foundations of the earth for a unique destiny. The Father wrote your story and knows the beginning, the end and the messy, imprisoning middle.

Life may seem like a rollercoaster today, but be assured that God began this good work within you and will continue His work until it’s finally finished on that day when Jesus comes back.
