Ephesians 3:14-21
“Tell me when is enough?” At times we use this phrase to tell someone to stop. I remember times filling my brothers water glass that he was holding and saying, “Tell me when.” As the glass filled and neared the top he would say, “Stop” or “That’s enough.” However, I kept pouring because he did not use the word “when.” My brother would begin to panic and yell louder to stop, but I calmly kept pouring. Finally he would remember and holler “WHEN!” We would laugh and watch as he had to clean up the mess. To be partially full or totally full is one thing, but to be completely filled and overflowing is totally different. In Ephesians 3:19 Paul prays for the church to “be filled up to all the fullness of God.” This complete overflowing fullness is the result of a strong inner faith in God (16-17) and a deep growing understanding of Christ’s love (17-18). Like the Ephesian church we can only experience the fullness of a relationship with God when we believe God by faith and know that we are completely loved by Jesus Christ. God is pouring out His love into your life through Jesus Christ. Don’t tell Him to stop. Instead let Him full you to overflowing.
