Dwell in Us, O Lord!

Let us claim Saint Paul's prayer for the people of Ephesus for ourselves: “I kneel before You Father...that You may grant us in accord with the riches of Your glory to be strengthened with power... And that Christ may dwell in our hearts through faith; that we, rooted and grounded in love, may have strength to comprehend ...what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, so that we may be filled with the fullness of God. Now to Him who is able to accomplish far more than all we ask or imagine, by the power at work within us, to Him be glory...forever and ever. Amen." Eph. 3:14-21

What a powerful prayer this is! No one can conceive how rich God is. No one can comprehend His power. His love is limitless and all-encompassing. He can easily grant any of our prayers and nothing is impossible for Him. 

Paul KNEW Christ. He received a revelation from Christ Himself and He is praying the same for us. That we would know Christ and that He would dwell with us. If Jesus said He wanted to live with us in our home, what would we do? I would clean up for sure! 

Jesus wants to live in our hearts! We need to be rooted and grounded, established, stable in God's love, not in the love this world offers, so that we may be overflowing with His fullness and grace and spirit. Impossible? If we want it enough, God is fully able to do all this and more!
