Fw: Beyond every question

Ephesians 3: 20 Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, 21 to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.
-
Paul packs so much truth in so few words throughout the letter to the Ephesians.  Consider having access to a source of provision and answers that is greater (far greater) and more abundant than any need or problem we can think of....any question we could ask.
-
Now consider that this great source of help is not just accessible, but that it is at work already within us.
-
No wonder Paul lifts praises as he names this marvelous reality: Christ Jesus.  And He has been at work in the lives of people called to form His Church across a few thousand years and somehow this great reality of Christ within us will shine in glory on and on across all generations and then through eternity...forever and ever.
-
I don't even know how to frame the question that explores how He could love us to that extent, but like many truths about the Lord, we are to receive and rejoice even when (and also, 'because') His reality is "exceedingly abundant and above all that we ask or think."
-
much love,
