Ephesians 3   Paul writes that he was given "the stewardship of God's grace".... the privilege of sharing these great truths of God's love- that gave Life to the dead.. to even the Gentiles.   Paul considered this stewardship, itself, a "gift of God's grace".

Paul was blessed with the privilege of sharing the "mystery of Christ"... that "Gentiles are fellow heirs and fellow members of the body, and fellow-partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel."...the "unfathomable riches of Christ"  - God's grace  made available to all who will believe.

This mystery, once hidden.. now made known.. "was in accordance with the eternal purpose which He carried out in Christ Jesus our Lord." God brings us all to bold and confident "access through faith" in Jesus.

Paul's prayer for the Ephesians in verses 14-21 is one to memorize and pray for ourselves and for each other.    He prays that God would "grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with power through His Spirit in the inner man ; so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; and that you being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled up to all the fulness of God. " 

Father, God of grace and glory,
May Your Holy Spirit powerfully work in our inner beings, to strengthen us, that Jesus Christ, Himself will dwell.. abide, settle in, take over, own.. our hearts.  Fix us firmly in Your infinite and marvelous love.  Transform us by the renewing of our minds so that we can comprehend this infinite love and be made full, complete, and perfected in You.  You alone are able to do this great and mysterious work, for it is beyond what we can even think or ask.. but according to Your Word, we pray, asking this in the name of our Savior, Christ Jesus the Lord. Amen.
