Our inheritance


This morning I am weary. My post-op drugs are helping keep my pain in check, but at the cost of a certain amount of wherewithal...I am tired and fuzzy around the edges.

One of the things I have been thinking about through the stupor is the rich blessing of the communities I find myself a part of. God has richly blessed me with family, church family, and Christian community that is real and valuable. I praise Him for that! And I pray for the cloud of witnesses around me. May we stand firm for Christ in this weary world.

Besides the heavenly inheritance prepared for the saints, there is a present inheritance in the saints; for grace is glory begun, and holiness is happiness in the bud.

~Matthew Henry
