“For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name,
that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with power through His Spirit in the inner man, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith;
and that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled up to all the fullness of God. – Ephesians 3.14-19
It is difficult to comprehend the inner and over-workings of the Story in which we find ourselves. While our Father does have our personal welfare in His heart, there are greater things unfolding. This is where we find ourselves this Christmas, and each day of our lives, right in the middle of the Story of the glory of God. We are privileged to be part of the Story of His glory.
Peace upon your home, dear friends!
“There was the true Light which, coming into the world, enlightens every man.”

A while back we talked about the One Woven Story of the God Story. That there is only ONE testament, not a new AND an old. Today we are getting to know the Originator and Weaver of the Story – and the essence of Who our Creator Father is.
To not be impacted by the existence of time is difficult to imagine. And yet this is exactly where the Creator of Time lives! He is above it. He is beyond it. Yet He is totally involved within it.
Jesus is the gold standard for displayed power upon the earth. No one – and we mean NO ONE – worked miracles like Jesus – and in front of so many witnesses! Do your own research. Choose any historical spiritual figure and do a search on the miracles attributed to him/her. Then investigate the details.
What are the things that evoke grateful responses in your heart? Satisfaction? Achievement? That feeling of things working out in a surprising or hoped for way? Perhaps the people you love sing to the grateful part of your heart.
