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 Lord’s holy people, 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 all 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, to Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen. Ephesians 3:16-21
“Our happiness consists in sharing the happiness of God, the perfection of His unlimited freedom, the perfection of His love.”
Thomas Merton (1915-1968) in The Seven Storey Mountain (New York: Image, 1970) 451.
As this posts, my son, Sammy, and I are making our connection to fly overseas. Pray that we can share the happiness with everyone we meet. That’s why we are all here on this earth.
Think of a person right now that you could generously share the happiness of God’s love. Pray this prayer over them that the Apostle Paul prayed it for the Ephesians. Insert their name for “you” each time.
