Ephesians 3:14-19
14 For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, 15 from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, 16 that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, 17 that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height— 19 to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

The wisdom of God revealed in His plan for our salvation should make us bow before our Lord, reveling in the fact that we are His children and the family of God in Christ! We should pray for each other as Paul did here that we would each know these endless riches in Christ and find strength by His Spirit in us, that we realize Christ in our hearts by the faith granted to us, and that we are planted firmly in His love for us and so towards each other also. Oh, that we may all grasp more fully the endless dimensions of the barely comprehensible love of Christ (the mere edges of His ways) so that we find ourselves filled up with God’s full measure of Himself and His merciful grace! These things we must pray for each other in Christ.
