Friends with BENEFITS!!!

I was thinking on the unfathomable riches of Christ and the NEED to talk about what we HAVE IN HIM now...not just the fact that we get eternal life after we die.
I ran across this Scripture again in Psm 103.
This is a REALLY COOL list of what we GET NOW!

2 Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget none of His benefits;
3 Who pardons all your iniquities; who heals all your diseases;
FORGIVENESS, HEALING
4 Who redeems your life from the pit; who crowns you with lovingkindness and compassion;
REDEMPTION, RESCUE from the PIT, CROWNED with COVENANT and COMPASSION
5 Who satisfies your years with good things, {so that} your youth is renewed like the eagle.
SATISFACTION, GOOD THINGS, RENEWED STRENGTH
6 The LORD performs righteous deeds, and judgments for all who are oppressed.
DOES GOOD THINGS, REVENGE
7 He made known His ways to Moses, His acts to the sons of Israel.
REVELATION of HIS PLAN
8 The LORD is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in lovingkindness.
COMPASSION, GRACE, PATIENCE, COVENANT
9 He will not always strive {with us} nor will He keep {His anger} forever.
10 He has not dealt with us according to our sins, nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.
MERCY, restrained WRATH
11 For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is His lovingkindness toward those who fear Him.
COVENANT LOVE
12 As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us.
REMOVED OUR SIN
13 Just as a father has compassion on {his} children, so the LORD has compassion on those who fear Him.
COMPASSION
14 For He himself knows our frame; He is mindful that we are {but} dust.
KNOWS US....that we are NOTHING-but still loves us
15 As for man, his days are like grass; as a flower of the field, so he flourishes.
16 When the wind has passed over it, it is no more; and its place acknowledges it no longer.
17 But the lovingkindness of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear Him, and His righteousness
to children's children,
18 To those who keep His covenant, and who remember His precepts to do them.
EVERLASTING LOVE, COVENANT, gives us RIGHTEOUSNESS
19 The LORD has established His throne in the heavens; and His sovereignty rules over all.
20 Bless the LORD, you His angels, Mighty in strength, who perform His word, obeying the voice of His word!
21 Bless the LORD, all you His hosts, you who serve Him, doing His will.
22 Bless the LORD, all you works of His, in all places of His dominion; bless the LORD, O my soul!

If that isn't reason to BLESS HIM....talk about HIM, live for Him, change for Him, listen to Him and meditate on Him....we are not all in...and we are missing it!
ALL FOR YOU
