Faith and Love: Ephesians 1

15 That is why, ever since I heard of your strong faith in the Lord Jesus and of the love you have for Christians everywhere, 16-17 I have never stopped thanking God for you. I pray for you constantly, asking God, the glorious Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, to give you wisdom to see clearly and really understand who Christ is and all that he has done for you.

Ephesians 1:15-17 (TLB)

Dear Ones: I release this prayer over you and yours today. Christians are to love one another as Christ loves us. It may seem like a small thing when you stop and pray for a brother or a sister, but it is not small in the eyes of the LORD. When we do this, we are exhibiting the “divine nature” of Christ.

Faith and Love are elements of HIS nature that enhance one another. Love of God is the glue that holds the Body of Christ together. It is the way we can truly know HIM and recognize HIM dwelling in others. This God-kind of Love keeps our Faith from being sterile based only on formulas or fear of wrath. Love never fails.

May the power of Love fill your faithful prayers for yourself, your family, and for others. May the “divine nature” of Christ saturate you as you become conformed to HIS image. May you be filled with godly wisdom as you see clearly HIS work in your life. Have an overcoming day in the LORD. I bless you in Jesus’ name.
