1/14/12 This past week, Ephesian 3:19 my choice verse for meditation this year had me considering "know the love of Christ" and "filled up to all the fulness of God"
Friend & prayer warrior, Wynellen prayed it for me though she went back to verse 17 which reminded me of "being rooted and grounded in love."
and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. (NIV)
To me knowing God begins in that love----to know that love fills me with all the fulness of God. These past weeks I have desired such prayers as I desperately needed to fully know His love. To know Him better. To experience the joy of knowing Him."There is no greater joy" and yet, I was struggling in the "joy" category. Circumstances, both physical and emotional. were weighing me down. To those closest to me, my life was NOT showing the great value of knowing Him.
I know this because as the pastor quoted Jim Elliot, I felt God tugging at my heart strings.
"Lord, make my way
prosperous not that I achieve high station, but that my life be an exhibit to
the value of knowing God.” (Jim Elliot, missionary)
That's my prayer. "Lord, may my life exhibit the incomparable value of knowing You!"
