Good day,  this is Michael De Rosa, and I will be looking at Ephesians 1:8 

He has showered his kindness on us, along with all wisdom and understanding. 

New Living Translation 

My dear friends God’s showering kindness upon us is much more than a passing drizzle.  Receiving His kindness is more in line with trying to drink from a fire hose:  you will get drenched

Because of Christ and through Christ, we are ushered into experiencing His kindness towards us.

-Have you sensed his gentle yet firm correction when you have sinned?

-Have you known His sweet presence when you were all alone?

-Has His understanding of your problems brought you confidence to get through them?

Then you have experienced His kindness.

Dear friend, because of His infinite wisdom and understanding, he knew what He was doing when he reached out to you through Christ to shower you with such kindness.  

Yes, friend, even at your worst, He knew what He was doing for it was not done because of your righteousness, but because of His Son, through whom He loves you so much
