Ephesians 3

​There's a kids' song that I love called 'Great Big God'. The lyrics go:
Our God is a great big God... (repeatx3)
And he holds us in his hands

He's higher than a skyscraper
deeper than a submarine
He's wider than the universe
and beyond my wildest dreams
He's known me
and he's loved me
Since before the world began
How wonderful 
to be a part of
God's amazing plan! 

Our God is a great big God... (repeatx3)
And he holds us in his hands

This is SUCH a good song to sum up Ephesians 3 for us! 
God's amazing plan is that we - the gentiles, have been included in God's family all because of God's kindness (his grace) to us in Jesus (Eph. 3:6). 
So now, we are heirs and sharers of the promises from Eph 1! How great is our God?! 
This amazing plan has been mapped out from the beginning of time as we know it (Eph 1:4-5). 
That's because God's plan is bigger than we can imagine!
Because God is bigger than we can imagine. 
Because God's LOVE is bigger than we can even measure!
Paul prays that the Ephesian church would be 'rooted and established in love' - in God's love - and that they would 'grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ' (Eph. 3:17-19).

May that prayer be for us too. 
May we see God's great, immeasurable love for us - beyond our wildest dreams! His plan for us - bigger than we can fully comprehend. The lengths he goes to save us and bring us into his family through Jesus - unfathomable. 
Why? Because our God is a Great Big God. 
And he holds us in his hands. 
Praise God!
