But we need to be strengthened with might by the Father’s Spirit in the inner man, and have Christ dwelling in our hearts by faith; we, rooted and grounded in love, and the breadth, length, depth, and height of that vast goodly inheritance filling our vision; and above all, our hearts saturated with that knowledge—surpassing love of Christ; and if these things are so with us, we will most assuredly be filled unto all the fullness of God. It will be so in the world to come, for the city has the glory of God, but it is the mind of God that it should be so now, and we need not think it impossible, for He is able to do exceeding abundant above all that we ask or think. The extent of our asking, even the apostle has to say, comes very far short of what He is able to do (His willingness is not in question), and perhaps we think of greater things than we ever ask, but whatever we ask, or whatever we think, there is One able to do far exceedingly above all, and for eternity the assembly will declare His glory.
