Ephesians 1:3-14
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed Don in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. For God chose Don to be in Him before the creation of the world, to be holy and blameless in God’s sight. In love he predestined Don for adoption to sonship through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will— to the praise of His glorious grace, which He has freely given to Don in the One He loves. In Him Don has redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace that He lavished on Don. With all wisdom and understanding, He made known to Don the mystery of His will according to His good pleasure, which He purposed in Christ, to be put into effect when the times reach their fulfillment—to bring unity to all things in heaven and on earth under Christ.
In Him Don was also chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of Him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of His will, in order that Don, would first put his hope in Christ, might be for the praise of God’s glory. And Don also was included in Christ when Don heard the message of truth, the gospel of his salvation. When Don believed, he was marked in Him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing Don’s inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession—to the praise of His glory.

So I am sure by now you noticed this passage of scripture was changed. Yes but the only change was that I added my name and made this personal. As Christians with a right relationship with God, this was written for us. Even though Paul wrote this to the Church, it is very true for us today.
I would challenge you to rewrite this passage and put your name in the passage and then allow this blessing to go from your head to your heart.
Be loud for Christ; share your blessing with the lost. Knowing that in Christ you have incredible power. Do not be ashamed to share the “Good News”.
