Our Burdens + His StrengthSample

You Are Perfectly Loved and Perfectly You

For you are loved, dearly loved. And you carry that love within you. It goes before you. It goes behind you. It goes beneath you. It goes above you.

The love of the Father is your heart beating. The love of the Father is your voice speaking. The love of the Father is your shield of protection. The love of the Father is your weapon fighting.

The love of the Father never subsides, never lessens, never tires, and never leaves you. The love of the Father is the path you walk, the map you follow, the song you sing, and the food you eat. You are His. And He is yours. You are perfectly loved. You are perfectly you.

“My response 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” (Ephesians 3:14-19 MSG).

“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 3:20-21 MSG).

Glory to God in the church!

Glory to God in the Messiah, in Jesus!

Glory down all the generations!

Glory through all millennia! Oh, yes!
