“We who are blessed”

“Then the King will say to those on His right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world.’ Matthew 25:34

Verse Reflections:  We ARE blessed.  I am a firm believer that our inheritance starts right here on earth.  We can take our inheritance now, today.  The best inheritance I will ever receive from my parents is the gift of their unconditional love and support.  Some of you are not as blessed by your own parents but God’s unconditional love is greater than anything we can imagine.  Our inheritance is grace, peace and love.  He prepared this for us since this world was created billions of years ago.  We get to claim it and live it now.  Doesn’t that make it easier to relax and want to glorify God by eating right?  There is something in knowing that God has loved me enough to create a kingdom for me to live in.  He has given me a blessing.  He loves me that much.  Shouldn’t I love myself enough to give my body healthy food, nutrition that He has created for me?  I am going to have 4 vegetable, 3 fruits, 3 proteins and a fun, blessed day.  God has prepared this day for me and you.  Let’s go out and live it for Him (and ourselves).

Prayer:  Father, thank You for my inheritance of Your kingdom.  I am grateful today for the inheritance You have already given me.  Because of Your grace I live guilt free, because of Your unconditional love I have confidence and peace that I would not have without knowing You love me just as I am.  Your light comes into the dark spots and shines a path.  It is reassuring to know that You have prepared Your kingdom for us since the creation of the world.  Somehow, someway that makes me want to take these gifts and treasure my body at a higher level.  I want to strive to eat right, to use the energy of today in the right way.  I will start off with a healthy breakfast and savor every mouthful even though I hate eating in the morning.  I am running late so I’d better go dry my hair.  I love You Father.  Let me live today worthy of my inheritance.
