Ephesians 1:22-23

Dear Father, God of our Lord Jesus

Help me to directly experience the power of what you did when you made Christ head over all things for the congregation of your people, the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all.

My Father, I am part of that body, your church. How I thank you for that!

I bless your holy name always!

Never let me take it for granted, never let me neglect it!

Thank you, Father, thank you, thank you!

In the name of Jesus. Amen.
