Blessed beyond what you think! Eph. 3:20NIV

Now 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 Eph. 3:20NIV

When we ask God for anything, like the good Father that He is, just as our earthly fathers would and should do, He always goes above & beyond what we could ever expect.  The NIV says our God is able to do "immeasurably more", meaning it is impossible to measure how much more He can do when all we have to do is just ask.  The AMP version says, "to carry out His purpose and do superabundantly more".  God has a purpose for our lives.  He does not just do abundantly more to carry it out, it is superabundantly more.  There isn't a word in our language that can even describe more of what we ask or think.

The NIV says "imagine".  The AMP version says "infinitely beyond our greatest prayers, hopes, or dreams" meaning there is no end to what He will do for us.  There is no end to how He wishes to bless us (Phil. 4:19).  All of this is "according to His power that is at work within us".  That's the kicker:  this already lives within us.  Remember, the same power that raised Christ from the dead, lives in YOU (Rom. 8:11).  That same power is what powers His purpose for your life and propels you to be blessed infinitely beyond your greatest prayers, hopes, or dreams.  All you got to do is just ask (Matt. 7:7-8).
