Introduction

We are going on a journey. No, I don't mean to Italy, or London, or even Japan. We are entering the journey of each other's lives through blogs. There is something about the written word that gives people more confidence, than if they had spoken it. I personally have had conversations with people that were both witty, and deep while communicating over the computer. I suppose not being able to see someone makes us feel safer, and more free to express what is in our hearts. Why do I tell you this? Because, we know each other and yet, we sometimes cannot fully convey what we are feeling in person. Therefore, blogs serve as another stepping stone in our journey to know each other, and Jesus.

I am amazed at the love of Jesus, which is far beyond my comprehension. Ephesians 3:14-19 is a prayer for the body of Christ in Ephesus (sp?). This past summer I went to London for a week. While there I heard a wonderful sermon preached from this very passage. He spoke about how God's love is SO great that it takes the whole body of Christ to comprehend it! Verses 17-21 state:

"That Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width, and length and depth and height- to know the love Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. 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, to Him be the glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever, Amen."

A better prayer I could not leave you with, and so with this phrase I shall end. God Bless!
