That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, — Ephesians 3:17

Love that goes beyond what we know. That’s hard to explain, but you know what it means when you’ve loved your partner for decades and they’re as close to you as an organ. This phrase makes sense when you love a child and do things for them that you never thought you could do for another person. And when you stand before God as a full heir to all his great riches and a full brother or sister of Jesus Christ the Lord and know that he or she sees you as holy, without fault, and blameless, you start to understand what this phrase means.

Holy and amazing God, help me feel the love that goes beyond words and knowledge, so that I can not only be like you, but also know you through experience as well as faith. In Jesus’ precious name I pray. Amen.
