Raised up together

 God's plan is to unify all people (gentiles and jews) through Christ and that believers should live a life of love and acceptance.

Ephesians 3 encourages believers to pray for the strengthening of peoples inner being, and for Christ to dwell in their hearts through faith.

It would truly be a wonderful thing if we as brothers and sisters, friends, believers,

fellow soldiers, joint heirs, could with an honest heart love each other.

NO  joke. No selfish intent. Just love each other working to further the Kingdom of God for His glory.

How far would you go to please your spouse, children or grandchildren because of love? I know I would move mountains to do what I could. And I do! Shouldn't we love God, and His people with that same kind of passion? Go the extra mile? Not complain about how hard it is to serve Him......... 

Here we are, another New year. 

What a wonderful gift it would be to our Savior, who indeed did give Himself to raise us up together to be with Him, to fully surrender to love Him, and each other, put ourselves aside, and work for Him.

let's get busy!

[17] that Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, [18] may be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; [19] and to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God. [20] Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, [21] unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end.
