Encouraged. blessed. Grateful

Because of Christ and our faith in him, we can now come boldly and confidently into God's presence. So please don;t lose heart because of my trials here. I am suffering for you, so you should feel honored. 


When i think of all this, i fall to my knees and pray to the Father, the Creator of everything in heaven and on earth. I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his spirit. 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. 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 it. 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. 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. Glory to him in the church and in Christ Jesus through all generations forever and ever Amen. ephesians 3:12-21


I absolutely love Paul's words and heart here throughout this passage. It is one that i come back to time and time again when i feel down or need to be encouraged by truth. Its so awesome to know that ALL of us can have power through his Holy spirit...and its not just only for those who are elite or mighty....but its even available for the lowly and unworthy ones like myself. As we continue to Trust in him That is where we will find our strength..and I'm so grateful that its not something we have to muster up by our own strength (praise god)...cause really I'm pretty weak on my own. But as we continue in him this inner strength will become a natural outpouring of the work that his is doing inside of us. 
 I love that we will never be able to fully comprehend the love of God....that forever we can go on learning more about him and grow in him...and yet still may only be able to see a stroke of the entire portrait that he has painted. This is the God that i serve...the one we can serve... He is the Lord who is infinitely more great and loving than I could ever be even  on my of best of Days.too glorious for comprehension..and yet still, he makes his dwelling place my heart and fills me with more riches that this little life Deserves. I'm GRATEFUL .
