I AM APPRECIATED

EPHESIANS 1:15-2315 For this reason, ever since I heardabout your faith in the LordJesus and your love for all God’speople, 16 I have not stopped givingthanks for you, remembering you inmy prayers.

EPHESIANS 1:15-2317 I keep asking that the God of ourLord Jesus Christ, the gloriousFather, may give you the Spirit ofwisdom and revelation, so that youmay know Him better.

EPHESIANS 1:15-2318 I pray that the eyes of your heartmay be enlightened in order thatyou may know the hope to which Hehas called you, the riches of Hisglorious inheritance in His holypeople,

EPHESIANS 1:15-2319 and His incomparably great powerfor us who believe. That power is thesame as the mighty strength 20 Heexerted when He raised Christ fromthe dead and seated Him at His righthand in the heavenly realms,

EPHESIANS 1:15-23

21 far above all rule and authority,power and dominion, and everyname that is invoked, not only inthe present age but also in the oneto come.

EPHESIANS 1:15-2322 And God placed all things underHis feet and appointed Him to behead over everything for thechurch, 23 which is His body, thefullness of Him who fills everythingin every way.

GENESIS 1:3131-a God saw all that he had made,and it was very good.

When you know that Jesus appreciates you – it changes

your life and reaction to circumstances.

1. Appreciated people exchange

GRUMBLING for PRAYING.

Paul was then in prison, but never questioned God; he

encouraged the “free” instead.

2. Appreciated people exchange

COMPETING for CELEBRATING.

For it is the power of the Holy Spirit that enables us to do, to

work - not on our own, so there’s no competition to win over.

3. Appreciated people exchange

BITTERNESS for THANKFULNESS.

Be reminded of Jesus’ ruling and reigning over all things.

4. Appreciated people exchange

PERFORMING for SERVING.

We don’t do things just to show

people we are serving.

5. Appreciated people exchange

BOASTING for ENCOURAGING.

FOR IT IS JESUS, ALL IN ALL.

CONCLUSION

JESUS

APPRECIATES

YOU!
