I Kneel Before The Father

For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name. 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 3:14-21

We see stories of God’s grace happening in other families. What about our own families? Do we see it happening here and now? Know that it can happen because God can make impossible things happen, and He does it all the time.

He can work within us. He can do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us. And how does He do it? We don’t know, but we accept it. We have seen it happen. And are we surprised? He is God.

If Satan can turn love into indifference, God can change indifference back into love.

God’s power to restore is stronger than Satan’s power to destroy.
