When I come to the Father in prayer, those I love are carried with, or inside, me. I carry them in heart and mind just as the Old Testament priests carried the 12 tribes of Israel into the sanctuary on "ephods," or breastplates, bearing 12 jewels, one for each tribe. When I come into the presence of God, those I love are also sanctified by His Presence.
So, too, when we are "in" Christ Jesus, he carries us in His heart and mind into the Presence of His Father. He is able to save us fully by His intercession for us and by bearing our burdens to the Father, Who refuses His Son nothing.

How absolutely beautiful! I can see the jewels on your breastplate, and I know that I'm one of them. For this, I'm eternally grateful.
