“
I have not stopped thanking God for you”
Ephesians 1:16
Ephesians 1:16
How
many of the people you know believe that the above passage is how you
think of them? Although
Paul is thanking God for the Ephesians’ partnership in the Gospel, it
seems to me that there is also a prior attitude toward people that we
need to have, one of letting others in on how God delights in them.
Does
your husband or wife believe that the above passage is how you think of
him or her?
Do your children think that this is what you think when you think
of them?
Have you ever actually said this sentence to anyone?
How often?
Have you said it to the members of your family?
It
may be that the deepest need of every human being is to experience a
taste of Christ delighting in us.
How does that experience happen?
Typically by way of a believer in whom Christ dwells doing the
visible and audible delighting.
Will
you today check your attitude toward those around you?
Will you choose to find delightful things about each?
Will you find a way to thank God for them.
Will you express that to at least one other person?
