And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, 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, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.

Ephesians 3:17 – 19

I need to pause a bit and listen to the Spirit of God.  He speaks of love, love that sends our roots down into the great power of God. For it is in that love, the love our Lord, that we begin to comprehend a power that exceeds all power, the power of the love of God – Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

Not that we will fully comprehend the measure of that love because it surpasses knowledge.  But what we know, what we feel, what buoys us up day after day is a power that causes us to bow the knee, raise the voice of praise and exalt His name forever.

Then the best of all, we might say, is to begin to understand that, through faith in Him, we may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.  Amazing.  It is not just a thought but a reality that is behind and beyond all things – the love of God.  That explains it all.

All love is rooted in God’s love. That love is most obvious in the life, death, resurrection and ministry of Jesus Christ!  I embrace that with all my being.
