Good Morning!

May He grant you out of the riches of His glory, to be strengthened and spiritually energized with power through His Spirit in your inner self, [indwelling your innermost being and personality], so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through your faith. And may you, having been [deeply] rooted and [securely] grounded in love, be fully capable of comprehending with all the saints (God’s people) the width and length and height and depth of His love [fully experiencing that amazing, endless love].  -Ephesians 3:16-18

This is quite a blessing. I love how it says to be strengthened and spiritually energized with power through His Spirit in your inner self. When we are strengthened through His Spirit we have courage to live out what He has for us. When we are spiritually energized with His Spirit we have the vigor and energy to run to completion what He has for us. Then it also mentions that when we are deeply rooted and securely grounded in love that we can comprehend as a church community the width, length, height, and depth of His love. Does it mention the community because it takes all personality angles to fully comprehend His love? Let’s go out this week and be strengthened and spiritually energized through the power of the Holy Spirit!

Timmy: Do you sing in the car?

Johnny: Yes, but only when I’m going in reverse. I’m a backup singer.

Have a great Monday!
