It's You again God,
I can't remember waking up and not thinking of You! Whenever I think I know You really well and at last understand Your love, You reveal more of Yourself to me! There is always more when it comes to Your love! The apostle Paul always showed that there was more to know about You and it is so beautifully put in his prayer for the church at Ephesus:
"So I kneel humbly in awe before the Father of our Lord Jesus, the Messiah, the perfect Father of every father and child in heaven and on the earth. And I pray that he would unveil within you the unlimited riches of his glory and favor until supernatural strength floods your innermost being with his divine might and explosive power. Then, by constantly using your faith, the life of Christ will be released deep inside you, and the resting place of his love will become the very source and root of your life. Then you will be empowered to discover what every holy one experiences—the great magnitude of the astonishing love of Christ in all its dimensions. How deeply intimate and far-reaching is his love! How enduring and inclusive it is! Endless love beyond measurement that transcends our understanding—this extravagant love pours into you until you are filled to overflowing with the fullness of God!
Never doubt God's mighty power to work in you and accomplish all this. He will achieve infinitely more than your greatest request, your most unbelievable dream, and exceed your wildest imagination! He will outdo them all, for his miraculous power constantly energizes you. Now we offer up to God all the glorious praise that rises from every church in every generation through Jesus Christ—and all that will yet be manifest through time and eternity. Amen!"
Ephesians 3:14-21 TPT
Lord I so want to continue in faith and have the resting place of Your love being the source and root of my life! I love the way the Passion Translation puts this but it is also good to read the Amplified Bible:
"May Christ through your faith [actually] dwell (settle down, abide, make His permanent home) in your hearts! May you be rooted deep in love and founded securely on love,"
Ephesians 3:17 AMPC
This is what I want Lord more and more and I look forward to continuing to see how I am secure in Your love! I also pray this prayer for those in my family who are away from You right now, that ...................................
".....may really come] to know [practically, through experience for yourselves] the love of Christ, which far surpasses mere knowledge [without experience]; that you may be filled [through all your being] unto all the fullness of God [may have the richest measure of the divine Presence, and become a body wholly filled and flooded with God Himself]!"
Ephesians 3:19 AMPC
How amazing that when I bring such requests to You, I come to the Most Powerful One And You carry out Your purposes:
"Now to Him Who, by (in consequence of) the [action of His] power that is at work within us, is able to [carry out His purpose and] do superabundantly, far over and above all that we [dare] ask or think [infinitely beyond our highest prayers, desires, thoughts, hopes, or dreams]–"
Ephesians 3:20 AMPC
You always outdo anything I ask for! You constantly surprise me by going above and beyond! Thank You so much for walking me through this part of Your Word today!
All glory to Your Name!
Amen.
