For this reason I kneel before the Father,
from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named,
that he may grant you in accord with the riches of his glory
to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in the inner self,
and that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith;
that you, rooted and grounded in love,
may have strength to comprehend with all the holy ones
what is the breadth and length and height and depth,
and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge,
so that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
Now to him who is able to accomplish far more than all we ask or imagine,
by the power at work within us,
to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations,
forever and ever. Amen.
(Eph 3:14-20)
Paul's love for God's people grabs at my heart today. I hope you feel the deep conviction of a man who knew the Father and wanted all to know the saving love of God- the breadth and length and height and depth of this love that surpasses knowledge.
Have you come to know this love of Christ? Are you allowing yourself to be filled with all the fullness of God so that you can love Him and love and serve His people. He wants to accomplish so much in us, to build up His Church... more than we even ask or imagine.
God has given us the gift of His Spirit to lead us to the truth of His love for us in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Paul wanted us to understand, and worked tirelessly to spread this Good News. I thank God for all the faithful prayer warriors who have carried me on this faith journey.
How are you praying for and sharing God's love with others?
