Overflowing Abundance

“May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God.”—Ephesians 3:19 NLT

Paul had experienced the power of God and realized that “eye has not seen, nor ear heard … the things which God has prepared for those who love Him” (1 Corinthians 2:9 NKJV). He also knew many believers were content with less than all God has prepared for them, and God was ready to bless them with more!

In his letter to the Ephesians, Paul prayed that believers would “be filled to the measure of all the fulness of God” (NIV). He wanted them to realize God has a fullness, an abundance, a deep reservoir of riches available for them. This fullness was so massive that it was humanly impossible to grasp.

To receive this fullness, we need to seek Him anew. We need to be filled with His Spirit and ask God to open our minds, hearts, and lives. We need to live with expectant faith and plant seeds with our time, talents, and resources.

Think about this fullness. Realize that God has prepared more blessings for you than you could imagine—blessings for your family and finances, your relationships and health.

Don’t limit God or be content with a small portion of His blessings. Ask Him to give you a vision of His greatness and help you experience more of His blessings. Ask Him to reveal the vastness of His bounty and the riches He already has prepared for you.
