BURSTING FORTH
Today's reading: Ephesians 1-3

"I pray that your hearts will be flooded with light so that you can understand the wonderful future he has promised to those he has called. I want you to realize what a rich and glorious inheritance he has given to his people." Ephesians 1:18 NLT

This is a prayer I have circled in my Bible for my son, for my loved ones, for myself--and for you.

Paul's words are just what I would say, if I were as well-spoken, to those I so desperately want to come to the full realization of God's goodness and love.

I pray it for those who do not yet know Christ as Savior, but I also pray it over the lives of those who have not been enlightened to the extreme love He has shown us as His children.

Today, dear friends, I want His light to burst forth in your hearts, minds and souls. I want you to see things as you have never seen them before, experience life as you never dreamed possible and spread His love and grace to those you could only facilitate through a miracle.

I want you to be who He believes you are. I want you to live in the way He has enabled you to live. I want you to see what can only be seen through the covering of His Son's blood!
