Today’s lesson comes from Paul’s powerful prayer:
Ephesians 3:14-15, 19
I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being . . . that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
We have one FATHER.
We are part of His FAMILY.
We can be FILLED with to overflowing with Him.
Father God, fill us with your fullness so there will be no room for division and disagreement.
Filled up with the Father’s love, filled up with His grace,
but when push doth come to shove,
must I really face
a whole big lotta other souls?
I’m a solitary man;
not like all those basement trolls
who send mean tweets because they can,
but I just like my company
on my desert plateau,
but in my heart it comes to me
that God’s will makes it so
that sharing His community
means an embrace of unity.
God is a God of relationships — with us, with one another. “An embrace of unity,” indeed!
