Ephesians 1-6: So Be It!

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 saints, 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.- Eph. 3:16-20 NIV

What more can we ask for?  God has given us everything we could ever possibly need in the form of his son.  Perhaps the only thing we should ask for or desire is as Paul put it:  power to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge.  I'm not sure many of us grasp God's love, that wide and long and high and deep love that sent his son from their heavenly home down to this sodden, sordid earth to dwell as one of it's humble citizens. I know I can't wrap my mind around the idea that Christ would come and die for anyone, let alone me.  That's what he did and that's what we celebrate.  Glory to God.  Glory to God who can do immeasurably more than we can ask or imagine.  Glory to God who is at work in us.  Glory to God in the Highest!  Glory to God for ever and ever.  Amen!  So be it!
