"I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit. Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God's love and keep you strong. And may you have the power to understand, as all God's people should, how wide, how long,how high, and how deep his love is. May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God" (Ephesians 3:16-19, NLT)
I hope you and I can fully understand as Paul did about God's love and the vastness of it. As we learn to trust Him, He will make his home in our hearts and our root will grow down into his love to keep us strong. Then maybe we will begin to understand how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is. I don't think we will ever be able to fully understand his love, but maybe we can begin to be made complete in him and live in the fullness of life and power that comes from Him.
I see so many people living a life that is so far below what God desires for us to live. He wants us to live fulfilled, happy, complete, and loved in Him. But because of the lies Satan tells us and because of the lack of redemption we allow to be applied to our lives we stay bound and living way below God's desire and design for us.
My prayer for you today is that you will find the life and victory you need in Christ and be able to rise up to the place God desires for you to live. A place where He can use you, bless you, empower you, and live in you. When we experience God's love and begin to discover how much He loves us, then we can begin to live full lives.
Journal today the ways God has revealed His love to you. How you find yourself walking and evaluate if you are truly living the full life God desires you to live. If not, what can you do to begin to change that?
Grab a cup of coffee and a little bit of chocolate and let's share together of the grace and mercy of God.
