May you be Strengthened ....

Recently I have spent a great deal of time pondering one of my favourite Bible verses.
Ephesians 3:16-19 ...

¹⁶ That He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might by His Spirit in the inner man;

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.

Such a wonderful promise.  It is amazing that we can ask for so much.  I also pray this prayer...  that God may strengthen all those around me (especially my friend who recently when through a cancer surgery and is in ICU)  according to the riches of His glory.  There is nothing else that we need than to have than to have God fill us with his strength and love. When I feel overwhelmed by the events around me these verses give me a feeling of total calmness. God is our awesome Heavenly Father.  He is in control and that all we need to do is ask and He is with us, strengthening us, and helping us with whatever we need. 

I am loving being drug free and looking forward to returning to work in January 2015.  On January 6, I have an appointment with my surgeon to have my armpit checked, again.  I have such a deep need for my life to be normal.  Normal for me would be to be able to go to work and contribute in my community.  If it is God's will, my wish will come true.  

Christmas blessings, love, strength and happiness to one and all!
