Thoughts on Ephesians 3

07/18/2012

Jesus,

Thank you for making a way for us to come into God’s presence as His children.

Thank you for making your home in the very center of my conscience…  from there anchoring me and nourishing me with your love (of which I am becoming more dependent daily).

You receive all honor for the amazing things you have done, are doing and will do… things far beyond what my small mind can even think to ask.

Thank you,

harley

 

Ephesians 3:12-21

12 Because of Christ and our faith in him, we can now come boldly and confidently into God’s presence.

13 So please don’t lose heart because of my trials here. I am suffering for you, so you should feel honored.

14 When I think of all this, I fall to my knees and pray to the Father, 15 the Creator of everything in heaven and on earth. 16 I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit.17 Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God’s love and keep you strong.18 And may you have the power to understand, as all God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is.

19 May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God.
20 Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think.

21 Glory to him in the church and in Christ Jesus through all generations forever and ever! Amen.
