| Isaiah 43:14-45:10, Ephesians 3:1-21, Psalm 68:1-18, Proverbs 24:1-2
“May your roots go down deep into the soil of God’s marvelous love; and may you be able to feel and understand, as all God’s children should, how long, how wide, how deep, and how high His love really is; and to experience this love for yourselves, though it is so great that you will never see the end of it or fully know or understand it. And so, at last you will be filled up with God Himself.” Ephesians 3:1-21
Man! We are talking about the Creator of the universe and all things as we know them, and He wants us to know Him and experience His great love. There is nothing more powerful than walking in the presence and love of God. There is no alcohol that could make you braver, no drug that could make you feel more invincible, no intimacy that could make you feel more complete. Like Paul, I am asking God to help us anchor onto His love and allow our lives to flow from that place. Everyone wants to be completely loved and completely known. No human being will ever be able to fill that hole. Open your heart to Jesus without fear. He knows us fully and still extends His offer of love.
PRAYER: Lord, this world is so hard sometimes. Many times, we hide our true selves for fear of rejection. Help us all to let the walls fall so that we can know the fullness of Your love for us. Even in our imperfect state You are still gracious and receive us. Let that truth override anything else in my mind. In Jesus’ name I pray, amen. |
