KJV
Giving thanks to the Father,

inheritance of
the saints in light.

CJB
giving thanks to the Father
for having made you fit to share
in the inheritance of His
people in the light.

inheritance - something from the past that is still important or valuable.

light - illumination - radiance - gleaming

Nelson's Bible Commentary
Believers can never be qualified on their own; instead God must make them sufficient through Jesus Christ. The inheritance is not one we have earned, but is based on being qualified by God.

Another pocket and tag. I like the key motif. It reminds me that God's word is key to my existence.

Gratitude
1. Being qualified
2. Being in on the inheritance
3. His light is a lamp unto my feet

Phil 1:4
In all my prayers for all of you,
I always pray with joy.

Blessings,
Deborah
