This love is real and it's for you!!!

We are studying Ephesians for one of the group studies Ben and I attend. I read this verse written by Paul to the Ephesians:

“I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.” Ephesians 3:16-19

So, I’ve definitely read this verse before, but I don’t think it had ever really clicked. I usually just kept reading as if it was just a small part of the letter. This time I read the verse and I was astonished! What is that? How does that happen? Where was my mind before? How many important sayings or phrases or verses have I passed over (in all the literature I have read) like they were just a small part of the story?

THIS TIME when I read, I finally understood how Paul was feeling. I have felt this love! I have seen this love! I watch this love continue when things are falling apart around me! I am still experiencing this love! It is unlike anything you can put into words or anything that is imaginable. I can’t explain. You just have to feel it and God is standing there waiting for you!!!

No, I am definitely not crazy. No, I am not part of a cult. No, I am not imagining things that are not there. No, I’m not giving you a sales pitch. No, I’m not trying to scare you (yet). No, this is not demonic. This is real!!! This is amazing!!!

If you haven’t felt this love it’s not surprising. No worries! It took me a long time in my Christian walk to get to this point (because I was not serious about my relationship with God). What took me years to understand, could take you only days, weeks or months, depending on how devoted you are to your relationship with God.

The Bible is filled to the brim with verses just like this. Any verse could grab you just like this one grabbed me this week. The Holy Spirit leads us to understand different things at different times. I pray that God leads you to understand this love sooner than later!!!

God Bless you on your journey!
