Devotion Ephesians 3:14-19 More Than Enough

Ephesians 3:14-19 – For this reason I kneel before the Father, 15 from whom every family[a] in heaven and on earth derives its name. 16 I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, 17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, 18 may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, 19 and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.

 Oh Lord my God

I cry out to you!

I am ashamed,

So very ashamed,

That I would ever

Be sad.

You pour out to me

Great blessings.

Yes, I thank you,

Yet Lord,

While you fill my heart,

As I thank you,

My eyes can drift to the

Neighboring field.

As thankful words

Pass my lips,

I ungratefully know

I can long for more.

If only “more of you”

Was my cry

(And most often it is).

Then joy, wholeness and rest

Would stay with me,

But when I think of what

I don’t have,

The storage room of joy

Has the lights dimmed low.

Lord God,
Please let my eyes

Stay upon you!

May I not look for more

But endlessly cry out to You.

In thankfulness may I

Be satisfied.

Surely my blessings

Overwhelmingly

Surpass my lack

(Which I actually I do not have).

For You know all I need,

And have given it to me.

Lord forgive my folly.

Let me remain in the wisdom

Of loving and thanking you

Where I belong.

Thank you Lord!

Bless You Lord!

Oh my Soul

Bless You Lord for

Being You!

You are all I need

And You alone fill my heart.

How could I cry out for more?

Forgive me!

You are enough!

You make my soul overflow!

Lord God You are always

More than enough!
