Ephesians 4:14-16

1 Passage: Ephesians 4:14-16

1 Verse: Verse 16. from whom the whole body, being fitted and held together by what every joint supplies, according to the proper working of each individual part, causes the growth of the body for the building up of itself in love.

1 Prayer: Thank You, Father, for giving each one of us a part in the makeup of Your body. May You cause our love for one another to increase in scope and deepen in maturity as we grow up in You and grow into one another. Your Spirit fits us together and knits us together through the unique contributions each one of us makes. Help us all, Father, to be faithful to perform the proper working of our individual part -- however big or small, honored or overlooked -- so that the whole which we share with You can also do Your work properly. Keep us from hoarding from others the blessings You have given us for the purpose of sharing. Help me today to supply to others what they need from that which You have provided to me.
