Our Response


What is our response when His Spirit brings others to our heart and mind?
“My response,” Paul wrote, “is to get down on my knees before the Father, this magnificent Father who parcels out all heaven and earth. I ask him to strengthen you by his Spirit—not a brute strength but a glorious inner strength—that Christ will live in you as you open the door and invite him in. And I ask him that with both feet planted firmly on love, you’ll be able to take in with all followers of Jesus the extravagant dimensions of Christ’s love. Reach out and experience the breadth! Test its length! Plumb the depths! Rise to the heights! Live full lives, full in the fullness of God.  God can do anything, you know—far more than you could ever imagine or guess or request in your wildest dreams! He does it not by pushing us around but by working within us, his Spirit deeply and gently within us” (Ephesians 3:14-21, MSG).
It is His Spirit working deeply and gently within us that molds and transforms. Pray for each other to experience the fullness of God that comes from a heart which has been broken and rendered helpless, yet is miraculously reborn in power and grace through His redeeming love. God can do more than we ever imagine!
