Filled to Fullness

Eph 3:16
14 For this reason I kneel before the Father, 15 from whom his whole family in heaven and on earth derives its name. 16 I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, 17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, 18 may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, 19 and to know this love that surpasses knowledge — that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. 20 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, 21 to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen. –NIV

“The church has surrendered her once lofty concept of God and has substituted for it one so low, so ignoble, as to be utterly unworthy of thinking, worshipping men” – AW Tozer

I believe a fundamental stumbling block for many Christians is the LOW view of God that has either consciously or unconsciously been adopted. When we come to a right belief about God a thousand other temporal problems are relieved.

Paul’s wish is that we would come to have a greater understanding of God’s love. That understanding would lead to experiencing God’s love in ways that would fill our lives in ever increasing ways. Imagine, God’s love as vast as the ocean being poured out into our lives the size of a thimble.

Here is a great thought to think on today…God is infinite and capable of giving more and you are expandable and capable of receiving more.

Imagine the possibilities!!!

Blessings,
