Ephesians 3:17-19 (NIV)
17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through
faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, 18 may
have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide
and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, 19 and to know
this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all
the fullness of God.
Love that surpasses knowledge. That's very difficult to
explain, but when you have loved your spouse for decades and he or she is as
close to you as any bodily organ, you experience what this means. When you love
a child and do what you never dreamed you could do for another human being, you
understand this phrase. And when you stand before God, adopted as a full heir
of all his great riches, a full sibling to Jesus Christ the Lord, and know you
are seen as holy, without reproach, and blameless, you begin to understand this
phrase.
Thought for today:
Have I ever sought to love on this level?
