Burning Passion For God (4)

"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every Spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ" (Eph.1:3)
In Christ we are blessed with all the spiritual blessings in Heavenly Places. Better put, having received Christ, we have received all the blessings of God, for Jesus is the blessing of God personified: he who is indwelt by Christ has got all that God has to offer, for in Him all the fullness of God dwell (Col. 2:9 )
The Greek word "Makarizo", sheds light on it; and it means a state of FULL SATISFACTION because one is indwelt by God. Full satisfaction, not just in quantitative measure, but more importantly, its a state of completeness in which you don't need any other thing. A little wonder Bible speaks of the man born again as a complete man (Col.2:10); because that man has Got all he will ever need in time and eternity having had Christ.
Jesus lifted the veil when He said "I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst." (John 6:35)
Why on earth will you break down and cry in hopelessness; how on earth could you shift your gaze and attention from the treasure that's resident in your very heart; why will you make ephemeral things the object of your most passionate pursuit; its either you don't know the magnitude of what you have or you have forgotten the great implication of God's indwelling presence.
From the day you received Christ through eternity, you have got all you will ever need. Blessed?
