For You

DEVOTION
EPHESIANS
FOR YOU
Eph 1:15-16
15 For this reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints, 16 I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers.
NIV
I wonder just how often, no I simply have to ask myself, just often do I remember you, and especially in my prayers? Do I actually give thanks for you as well? Now I have to admit, I did not hear about your faith in the Lord Jesus, nor did I hear about your love for all the saints. Maybe that is why I don’t give thanks for you as much as I should, or pray for you as often as I should. Am I putting all this, my failure to comply with the example set out for me, on you? Not at all! I am just wondering why I do not comply. Is it all on me? Maybe, yet I cannot help but think about how I do not hear about you either. Why are you so silent? Why not speak up about your faith in the Lord Jesus? Why not demonstrate your love for all the saints, for me? I do not want to place any blame on anyone except me. I simply just have to comply. It is plain to me; I am the one who must always give thanks for you. I am the one who must always remember you in my prayers. I am the one who has to response to the words of God. This is my life, my devotion, my heart, mind and spirit who are being spoken to. I do not condemn anyone, expect me. I will remember you!
