I pray that your love will overflow more and more, and that you will keep on growing in knowledge and understanding. For I want you to understand what really matters, so that you may live pure and blameless lives until the day of Christ’s return. May you always be filled with the fruit of your salvation—the righteous character produced in your life by Jesus Christ — for this will bring much glory and praise to God. (Philippians 1:9-11)
Paul is asking this for his ‘children in the faith’ – I ask this for myself! In these three verses I find everything that I hope to become. This is just a beautiful description of what a people of God should look like; act like; be like.
If you want these things for yourself as I do, just pray this prayer with me:
Lord, I want my love to overflow more and more.
I want to keep growing in knowledge and understanding
Please help me to understand what really matters
So I can live a pure and blameless life until You return
Lord, I want to be filled with the fruit of salvation
And I ask You to produce a righteous character in me
So that You can use me to bring glory and praise to God the Father
Amen and Amen!
