We are so blessed to be the chosen people created before the foundation of the world to be the habitations of God.  We are the privileged people designed to be vessels of His surpassing glory. God calls us to enter into the fullness and simplicity of this life. Religion makes things complex. Jesus simplifies.  Life in Him is simple, but sacrificial. There are verses in the scriptures that are keys and unlock the blessings of many other promises of God revealed in the scriptures.  One of these verses is seek first the Kingdom of God and all these things will be added to you. (Matt. 6:33)  And it is true that by putting the Lord first in our hearts and in everything we do that all the other blessings in the scriptures are fulfilled.  Another like it is Love the Lord & love your neighbor – all the law and the prophets are fulfilled in these . . . (Mark 12:31) These are key verses that open the doors of our lives to the flood of heaven's blessings and most of all His manifest presence.  Jesus promises us an experience of the Father's love as we hold His commandments in our hearts. He will love us and manifest Himself to us when we learn to love, treasure and obey His words.
