Filled up

This morning I read a scripture that I have read countless times but for some reason today it brought tears to my eyes.

"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 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." Ephesians 3

Seriously people - really take in this love that God has for you. We can be filled with the fullness of God. Have you really thought about that? Even now as I think about that it is difficult to comprehend. And that my creator is able to do more in my life than I can even imagine. To top it all off his power is at work within me/us. Can we even begin to comprehend his power within us? As I think about all this and feel blown away by these promises I believe that we do not even begin to tap in to this power. We actually forget it's there or don't realize we even have it. Yet the more we are in the word and in prayer - asking God to reveal himself to us and speak to us the more we will see the power that he placed within us. It's definitely not anything of our own doing, but the power and strength of his Spirit within us. The first verse above says that!!! And Christ dwelling in our hearts. Wow - isn't that just the best.

Don't ever forget this love that Christ has for you. I love this song. What a prayer! Close your eyes and worship your creator - open up your heart to him - he promises to fill you!!!


A few randoms
By the way, I LOVE OUR SMALL FAITH GROUP!

Last night we skyped with our daughter who lives in California now. We haven't skyped with her in quite some time so I ended up staying up till 1am to chat. (10pm for her) We shared life with each other and it was truly a joy to see her face. I think she smiled the whole time!!!

Just chatted with Denise over in Africa. Keep her and Mike in your prayers that God give them strength in the last leg of their mission work.

Yea, we are going to be grandparents again. Our grandson Zechariah is going to be a big brother.

Tuesday off to Costa Rica. I love the group of students I am going with.

A beautiful day today. God is good!!!!!
