Rooted and Grounded

My Prayer
That according to the riches of his glory he may grant me to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in my inner being, so that Christ may dwell in my heart through faith--that I, being rooted and grounded in love, may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that I may be filled with all the fullness of God. Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen. (Taken from Ephesians 3:16-21 ESV)

I'm full of knowledge. Yet love is so far from me. I'm tired of loving myself and my sin. I want to love His Body and His Sheep, both the lost and the found. I want to be compelled as Paul was by the message of reconciliation. I want to know the fear of the Lord, therefore seeking to persuade others to repent and believe. I want to stop typing and talking and thinking about how I want to love people and actually start DOING IT. Blah. As frustrating as it is to feel so stuck in selfishness and sin, the passage of Scripture above gives me so much hope. The words are so powerful and proclaim such amazing truth and promises. Praise God that He is faithful to His promises.

As I ask He will do MORE then I could ever ask for or think. But I have to ask. I have to.

Check out 2 Co. 2:14-6:2 I know it is long but its such a good passage. Amazing truth to meditate on.
