My prayer

I read this today along with Ephesians 2, and both chapters 2 and 3 are outstanding works about how God saved us and the fact that we had nothing to do with it. He doesn't save us because we are better than anybody else. It's not because we have something to offer Him. We don't. It's simply because of His perfect love for very, very imperfect beings. I look at these passages and realize that if God can save me, then He can save anybody. Read this passage slowly; take in everything it says, and I hope that it brings as much blessing and hope to your day as it has mine:

Ephesians 3:14-20

14 For this reason I bow my knees before the Father,15 from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named,16 that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being,17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith--that you, being rooted and grounded in love,18 may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth,19 and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

20 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,21 to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen.
