Rich Heart? What is your heart? So, "I pray that out of His
glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through
his Spirit in your inner being, 17so that
Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray
that you, being rooted and established in love, 18may
have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how
wide and long and high and deep is the love of
Christ," Think about it. How can you truly better yourself? You can have all of the knowledge in the world, but does that make you rich in spirit? You can have all the wealth and material possessions of this world, but does that make you rich in spirit? No. All the money, strength and power that exists will not make you rich in heart. "Let the word of Christ dwell
in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with
all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual
songs with gratitude in your hearts to God." The only riches that a heart can bear is Christ alone. My purpose is that they may be
encouraged in heart and united in love,
so that they may have the full riches of complete
understanding, in order that they may know the mystery of
God, namely, Christ. |
