超乎我们所想More Than We Can Imagine

To him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine,
according to his power that is at work within us. Ephesians 3:20

上帝能照着运行在 我们心里的大力，充充足足地成就一切，超过我们所求所想的。-以弗所
书3章20节
What are the five best toys of all time? Jonathan H. Liu suggested the
following: A stick, a box, string, a cardboard tube, and dirt (GeekDad
column at ). All are readily available, versatile, appropriate
for all ages, fit every budget, and are powered by imagination. No
batteries required.
Imagination plays a powerful role in our lives, so it’s not unusual that
the apostle Paul mentioned it in his prayer for the followers of Jesus
in Ephesus (Eph. 3:14–21). After asking God to strengthen them with His
power through His Spirit (v. 16), Paul prayed that they would be able to
grasp and experience the full dimension of the love of Christ (vv. 17–19).
In closing, Paul gave glory to “him who is able to do immeasurably more
than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within
us” (v. 20).
Often our experience limits our prayers—a situation we can’t picture
being different; destructive habits that remain unbroken; long-held
attitudes that seem to defy change. As time passes, we may begin to feel
that some things cannot be changed. But Paul says that is not true.
By God’s mighty power working in us, He is able to do far more than we
may dare to ask or even dream of.
孩子们都具有丰富的想像力。他们可以将竹子想像为骏马，驰骋大地；坐在盒子
里就可以渡过汪洋大海； 以纸圆筒便可以遥望天空飞鸟；更可以用泥巴塑造出不
同的东西，玩得不亦乐乎。
在我们的生活中，有些时候也需要想像。当使徒保罗为以弗所信徒祷告时，也提
到这一点 (以弗所书3章14-21节) 。保罗先祈求上帝，藉着圣灵加添信徒力量
(16节) ，并愿他们能够明白与经历基督长阔高深的爱 (17-19节) 。在祷告的
末了，保罗将荣耀归于上 帝，他说：“上帝能照着运行在我们心里的大力，充充
足足地成就一切，超过我们所求所想的。” (20节)
