Still Speechless

My heart continues to be so full that there's sort of a bottlenecking effect going on. I really don't even know what I could say. It's at times like these when I wish we lived on a world of Betazoids. (for the uninitiated, Betazoids are a type of alien from Star Trek that are both empathic and telepathic, meaning that they can read feelings or moods and also read minds) Then I could just look at you, there would be a little zap, and you would understand. I guess I'll just have to leave you with a prayer I read last night in my devotions.

When I think of the wisdom and scope of God's plan, I fall to my knees and pray to the Father, the Creator of everything in heaven and on earth. I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will give you mighty inner strength through his Holy Spirit. And I pray that Christ will be more and more at home in your hearts as you trust in him. May your roots go down deep into the soil of God's marvelous love. And may you have the power to understand, as all God's people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love really is. May you experience the love of Christ, though it is so great you will never fully understand it. Then you will be filled with the fullness of life and power that comes from God. Now glory be to God! By his mighty power at work within us, he is able to accomplish infinitely more than we would ever dare to ask or hope. May he be given glory in the church and in Christ Jesus forever and ever through endless ages. Amen.


Maybe some of you recognize this prayer. Paul prayed in Ephesians 3. And although it isn't original with me, this is pretty much how I feel.
Y'shua berakah. (Jesus bless you.) (My own feeble translation, and probably not accurate.)
