14 This is why I kneel before the Father. 15 Every ethnic group in heaven or on earth is recognized by him. 16 I ask that he will strengthen you in your inner selves from the riches of his glory through the Spirit. 17 I ask that Christ will live in your hearts through faith. As a result of having strong roots in love, 18 I ask that you’ll have the power to grasp love’s width and length, height and depth, together with all believers. 19 I ask that you’ll know the love of Christ that is beyond knowledge so that you will be filled entirely with the fullness of God. Ephesians 3:14-19

In God’s Word, this section is labeled A Prayer for the Ephesians. He speaks not only of his wish for spiritual blessings for these people, but also how wide, high and deep God’s love for every person, for every nation, no matter who they may be. He also speaks of how he hopes and prays that the people have a sense of deep, fulfilling satisfaction in this knowledge, as he does.

Let us pray please : Gracious and All-Powerful God, we are in awe of Your greatness – Your Love knows no boundaries, like a bottomless, shoreless ocean. Your power in our lives goes beyond our human understanding. You are The LORD, one and only God of our lives, and we , Your church, praise You !! Help us God, to speak and share this knowledge of You and Your Love with all people, no matter where they are , no matter who they are. We pray all this in our Redeemer’s Saving name. Amen.

Yours in Christ , Rollie

Ephesians 3: 14-19

17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. 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,

It is only recently, say about the last 2 ½ years to really understand Christ love for me and all people. I never looked at Christ the way I look at him now. I see in Jesus a wonderful friend who is there always. I can speak with him any time day or night. I can ask him for help or guidance always. He is my Redeemer and Friend. Jesus is the corner stone of my faith and I am forever grateful for that gift.

Dearest Jesus, you gave so much to me, even your life, so that I can have eternal life with you. I don’t think I can ever repay you for all you did for me, but I hope with all my heart that you know how much I love you. Thank you for everything in my life. Amen.

Ephesians 3:18, NLT
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.

My journey on earth is to know how wide, how long, how high, and how deep His love is. We can't master how huge God's love is. We just keep walking with God so that we learn, know, and feel His love every day from every moment with the people of God and God's creatures. His love is the most powerful one to change our hearts rather than anything else. One of the most important missions in our lives to know how deep, wide, long, and high His love is.

Father, thank you for loving me as I am. Thank you for being with me, protecting me, guiding me, and walking with me. Help and guide me to know Your love more, wider, deeper, and higher. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
