Verse of the Day: Ephesians 3:17-18 NKJV
“that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height”
The love of Christ is immeasurable. It stretches across the whole of humanity, embracing the world with a love so vast that it defies comprehension. His love is timeless, with no beginning and no end, remaining constant throughout eternity. As high as the heavens are above the earth, so is His love for us, covering even our greatest sins. Christ’s love reaches down into the deepest pits of our pain, sin, and sorrow, lifting us up with His everlasting arms.
Though we cannot fully comprehend the love of Christ with our minds, we can experience it through action. The Apostle Paul prays that we may come to know this knowledge-surpassing love—not through theory or emotion, but by living it out. As we demonstrate Christ’s love in our lives, it broadens, lengthens, deepens, and heightens, becoming real to us in a tangible way.
When we encounter people we find difficult to love, we are called to rely on Christ’s love within us. Even when we may not feel love, we can choose to act as a channel of His love. We cannot love perfectly on our own, but Christ in us can. Through the Holy Spirit’s work, God empowers us to love beyond our own limitations, accomplishing far more than we can imagine.
