truth. “To be holy and blameless before Him”. Paul knows
that, and prays for his friends, “Lord, open their eyes. Give them
the Spirit of wisdom and unveiling, that they might see, the hope
of their calling.”

Then he goes on and says, “And not only that, but what are
the riches of His inheritance in the saints”. Now read it
carefully because it is often misread. “His inheritance in the
saints.” He’s not talking about your inheritance in Him. He’s
talking about His inheritance in you. It is one thing to see by
revelation, what you have in Christ. But it’s another thing to see,
by revelation, what He has in You. This isn’t just spiritual
platitudes. You make His heart flip. You make God excited! He
gets so thrilled over you. He loves you. You are His inheritance.
“He is jealous for you!”

You say, “The Lord is my portion.” Yes, of course! But you’re
His portion. All things are His. Hebrews 1:1&2, “He’s the heir
of all things.” Psalm 57 says, “The cattle on a thousand hills
are His.” Psalm 24 says, “The earth is the Lord’s and the
fullness thereof, the world and all that dwell therein.”

I tell you, in a special way, He has an inheritance in His saints. In
our most spiritual meditation, we would never have guessed,
dreamed, hoped, or ever thought, how much pleasure God takes
in us. It’s easy to say to someone else, “God loves you.” But has
God ever burned it into your heart, that you give Him pleasure?

When is the last time you did nothing, but let God enjoy you?
When is the last time you got alone and said, “Lord, here I am,
just love me!” We don’t naturally believe that. We naturally
believe that we should rest in Him, and have fellowship with Him.
And that’s all right. But oh that God would open our eyes, to see
His inheritance in us. That He’s in us, and delights in us. We’re
not His gardeners. We’re His garden. He wants to enjoy us,
grace us, love us and hug us. Sometimes Lillian comes up and
says, “Don’t say anything, just hug me.” Let God just hug you!
