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.

Prayer

Help me to understand the love that is greater than words and knowledge in my soul, holy and incredible God, so that I may not only be like you but also experience you in the same way that I have faith in you. I pray in the precious name of Jesus. In Jesus’s precious name I pray. Amen.
