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

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. v17-19

I know that Jesus loves me but Paul really says it nicely in terms of the depth and breadth of Jesus' love for me.  He also encourages us to grasp that fully understanding Christ's love for us is something that we should yearn for above all, including riches, knowledge, power, etc.  Pursue and understand the "fullness of God".

My Prayer: Lord, You are indeed the one and only God and my Lord and Savior - with whom I would be nothing.  You bless me well beyond what I deserve...every day and all the time. You have always been there for me and always will...and You are always good to me and always keep Your promises.  I am not worth such a God...I am lazy, selfish, prideful, etc.  Thank You that You love me but please forgive me Jesus!  Help me turn from such sin and towards You instead.  Help me love You with all of my heart, soul, mind and strength.  Help me love others as You do.  Help me grow in my faith. Give me strength.  Give Lisa strength.  Heal and cure her of this cancer Jesus.  Help me serve Lisa, Zach and Dustin.  Help me understand, be obedient to, and apply Your message for me today and every day.
