first of all, props on the marvelous blog Sam..i approve :)
Ephesians 3:14-21: For this reason i kneel before the Father, from whom his whole family in heaven and on earth derives its name. I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge--that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.
Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever!
i think this is a fantastic prayer for the people we love, and I pray it for you guys. What greater thing could we ask for than for the people we love to know the purest, most real love that exists or has ever existed: the love of God. i mean, yeah its all good and wonderful to love on them ourselves, but we're far from perfect. Even better then, I think, is to ask for God's love to become apparant to them. that they might know how all-encompassing, how gigantic, how neverending that love is.
i pray that you women are filled with His love. I pray that His spirit strengthens you, whatever you might be struggling with. that He can help you understand 'how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ.' because if we could really wrap our heads around that, if we really knew how much He loved us...we'd never need anything else. We wouldn't need approval or acceptance...we would yearn for nothing. Because if we could just understand, we'd realize He's standing right here, offering us everything.
