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

Paul wants us to have strong bonds of love with each other. Knowing and sharing the love of Christ helps us bring God’s full blessing to others more than understanding all the unsolvable mysteries of the universe or the deep teachings of the Bible. Even though knowing things can be helpful, love is still better. Power can be useful, but love is even more useful. Experience can teach us a lot, but love shows us how to use what we’ve learned to help others. Let’s be a group of people whose lives are filled with love. (cf. 1 Cor. 13)

Prayer

Father, let the Holy Spirit pour your love into my heart, and then let me pour that love into the lives of those around me. Make me a tool of your grace so that those whose lives I touch can feel your love in a clear and unmistakable way. In Jesus’ precious name I pray. Amen.
