3:16		求 他 按 著 他 豐 盛 的 榮 耀 、 藉 著 他 的 靈 、 叫 你 們 心 裡 的 力 量 剛 強 起 來 、
3:17		使 基 督 因 你 們 的 信 、 住 在 你 們 心 裡 、 叫 你 們 的 愛 心 、 有 根 有 基 、
3:18		能 以 和 眾 聖 徒 一 同 明 白 基 督 的 愛 、 是 何 等 長 闊 高 深 、

3:20		神 能 照 著 運 行 在 我 們 心 裡 的 大 力 、 充 充 足 足 的 成 就 一 切 超 過 我 們 所 求 所 想 的 ．
3:21		但 願 他 在 教 會 中 、 並 在 基 督 耶 穌 裡 、 得 著 榮 耀 、 直 到 世 世 代 代 、 永 永 遠 遠 。 阿 們 。

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.

   ²⁰ Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, ²¹ to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.

Our God is the amazing God who is filled with glorious riches that He intends to bless us to be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. We believers are now by the Spirit and His Power to be strengthened in our inner being; together with all the people of God to grasp how wide and long and high and deep of the love of Christ; and to experience how God do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine. God continues to work in us that He ultimately receives all our glory and blessings.

My dear Holy Spirit, I open my heart by faith to You again this morning that You and Your Power come upon me to strengthen my inner being, to pour out the intense love of Christ in my soul, and to transform me freely and more than what I ask or imagine that God's glory is to be exalted in my life and ministry.
