What a great prayer! Paul is praying that we would be so full of Jesus, and his love, that there would be no room for anything else. Just imagine if you were so full of the love of Jesus that it simply flowed from your heart and life at all times—every thought, every act, every word. Imagine how different life would be. Instead of being full of myself and my worries and my insecurities, I would be full of peace and patience and kindness and gentleness and self-control—and love. Lord Jesus, please make it be so! Let your love abound in me, today and every day.
Lord Jesus, fill me so full of you, so full of your love, that there is no room for anything else—no anxiety or insecurity, no comparison or competition, no impatience or frustration, no shame or condemnation. Fill me to overflowing, Lord Jesus, with your life and your Spirit. Let your love abound in me. Then I will be more like you. Amen.
