Bragging and Boasting In Heaven (Ephesians 1:3)

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:  Ephesians 1:3

Did you ever find yourself caught in a conversation with somebody telling you about their grandchildren.  They go on and on boasting about their intelligence, athletic ability and their extreme cuteness.  You feel trapped and unable to escape their control.  

In heaven, the exact same thing takes place.  The scriptures tell us that God blesses or eulogizes us in heaven.  He brags to all of the sprit beings about the wonder of his children and to show the greatness of their value to him, he speaks of how they are his chosen ones who are without blame whom he has adopted into his family by first buying them back to himself and forgiving them of all wrong.  It is beyond the understanding of these spirit beings and has caused them to look into this mystery since the beginning of time.  What a wonderful position we have in Christ.  The self existing one, who should receive all praise continually, steps up to his podium in heaven and lauds us before his captive audience.

Instead of walking through your day today and focusing on negative aspects of yourself, reflect on how God feels about you and that at that very moment he is blessing you as he stands before his adoring audience.
