encouragement

Today a slew of out-of-the-ordinary things happened right in a row, but I was left very encouraged. The thing that was most encouraging came out of Paul's letter to the Church in Ephesus; it is also my prayer today!
"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 is. 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."
(Eph. 3:16-19)

Furthermore, verse 20, was very applicable and encouraging to me at this time in my life! It says, "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." I am blessed to have a Father in Heaven that loves me so much, and I am thrilled that His power is at work within me, AND that He IS going to complete His good works in me, that are far beyond what I could ask or imagine! Oh good and awesome it is to serve and love the LORD! Glory!
