I enjoy working in my flower gardens and tackling jobs around my yard. I had been wearing a winter coat but needed to begin wearing a lighter spring jacket. One of my 'old' jackets and a sweatshirt, I had burned because of broken zippers.


Now what? I didn't want to wear my best spring jacket for dirty work. Maybe I'd have to buy something second-hand to wear outside this spring.

When I went to a downstairs closet to retrieve my vacuum cleaner, I spotted my older blue spring jacket that I forgot I still had. Bingo! That was what I would use. I owned it all the time.

Same thing with us as Christians. We have so many things 'packed inside' which we inherited from Jesus when we gave our lives to Him:  love, peace, joy, patience, goodness, mercy, kindness, His forgiveness, eternal life. And the lengthy list goes on. Whether we feel like it or act like it or not!

Like my jacket, sometimes we forget what we possess. Doesn't mean it is gone!

Praise God for Who He is and What He gives to us for us to enjoy; now and forever!
