“For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, 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 of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.”
Ephesians 3:14-19
When we are called into communion with God, it is always Father, Son and Holy Spirit who meet with us in harmony together: God is One (Deuteronomy 6.4). Maybe it began for you in learning about and being drawn to Jesus, His life, ministry and atoning death; perhaps you first felt confronted or touched by the presence and power of the Holy Spirit; or you began by appreciating the might and majesty of our heavenly Father, reflected in the marvel of Creation. However it happened, it is a revelation come from the One God: from the Father, through the Son and by the Holy Spirit.
When we come into a relationship with God, where He reveals Himself to us as He truly is, we begin to realise that we have a heavenly Father who cares intimately about every aspect of our life (Matthew 5.25-33); a Saviour who will always be there to inspire and journey with us through the rough and smooth (Hebrews 13.5-8); and the Holy Spirit who will enter us and enable us (John 14.16-20). God wants us to come to know Him more fully as He is, so that our joy and hope may overflow in abundance. One God, who is eternally Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Thank you, loving God, that you have drawn me, not only to wonder at your grace and compassion, but to embraced into eternal communion with you. I thank you that I, together with all your people, are caught up into an eternal, ceaseless communion with you, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, in Your creativity, goodness, justice and love. For such a gift, such a quality of living that knows no end, I would ever praise and worship Your Holy Name. Amen.
