How wide, how long, how high, how deep

Ephesians 3:14-21

Paul’s Prayer for Spiritual Growth:

"When I think of all this, I fall to my knees and pray to the Father, the Creator of everything in heaven and on earth. I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit. Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God’s love and keep you strong. And may you have the power to understand, as all God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is. May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God. Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think. Glory to him in the church and in Christ Jesus through all generations forever and ever! Amen."

This verse has spoken to me so much recently. I feel as though the more I grasp and understand God's great love for me, the more power I have in my life. The power to pray, the power to serve, the power to love others, as Jesus did. Of course I've got a long way to go on my journey but it is getting sweeter and sweeter every day! Praise to Him!!

The Lord has blessed my husband and I with the gift of a 5-day Caribbean cruise. So we are taking advantage of some much needed time alone. What an awesome time to rest in His presence, experiencing His beautiful creation and enjoying each other!

See you in a week!

God is so good!!
