The Apostle who Prayed for you

Filled Up With The Fullness
In Ephesians 3, Paul prayed for the believers of Ephesus that Messiah would dwell in their hearts and that they'd be rooted and grounded in love so that they would know the love of God and be filled with all His fullness. But Paul's desire and prayer was obviously for all believers. When God's Spirit caused him to write down His words, He clearly intended for them to reach millions of others. And God intended you to hear those words as well. Undoubtedly, Paul not only prayed that prayer for a few believers in Ephesus, but for all the believers alive in his day. What Paul wrote is Scripture, and it says, "I pray that you will be filled up with all the fullness of God". What an honor that is - you've been prayed for by an apostle! So be blessed. Go in confidence. Know the love of God. Be rooted and grounded in that love, and be filled up with the fullness of God. For you have been prayed for by an apostle!

Today's Mission
Today, make it your aim to seek to really know the love of God, to root your heart, mind, and soul in that love, and to be filled up with the fullness of God.

Colossians 1:9
9 For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;
Be assured that from the first day we heard of you, we haven’t stopped praying for you, asking God to give you wise minds and spirits attuned to his will, and so acquire a thorough understanding of the ways in which God works. We pray that you’ll live well for the Master, making him proud of you as you work hard in his orchard. As you learn more and more how God works, you will learn how to do your work. We pray that you’ll have the strength to stick it out over the long haul—not the grim strength of gritting your teeth but the glory-strength God gives. It is strength that endures the unendurable and spills over into joy, thanking the Father who makes us strong enough to take part in everything bright and beautiful that he has for us.

Have a blessed day and week.
May Yeshua Hamashiach the Christ bless you.
Love, Lizzy
