How to Let God's Love Change Everything ❤️

July 18, 2024
Hey Awesome Friend!
Let's dive into the scripture:
14 For this reason I kneel before the Father, 15 from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name. 16 I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, 17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, 18 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, 19 and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.
20 Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, 21 to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.
Explanation:
Paul is laying it out here in his letter to the Ephesians.
He’s on his knees, praying that God’s power will fill you up.
Not just a little, but overflowing, like trying to fill a water balloon and it just keeps expanding. 🎈
Paul’s talking about a spiritual power that comes from God’s endless resources.
This isn’t just about feeling good…
It’s about Christ making His home in your heart through faith and being rooted in love so you can understand the mind-blowing dimensions of Christ’s love.
Insights:
Paul’s prayer isn’t about self-improvement or becoming the best version of yourself…
It’s about letting Christ live in you and transform you from the inside out.
The source of this power and love is Christ Himself.
When we let Him dwell in our hearts, we start to grasp the endless, measureless love He has for us. This love is beyond anything we can understand but experiencing it changes everything. 🙌
Application:
Alright, so how do we make this real in our lives?
Start by making room for Christ in your daily routine. Simple, right?
Maybe it’s a quiet moment in the morning, or a quick prayer during your lunch break.
Let His love sink in and shape how you see yourself and others.
This week, think about how you can show that wide, long, high, and deep love to someone.
It could be through a kind word, a helpful act, or just being there for someone who needs it.
Small steps can lead to big changes when we’re powered by God’s love.
Reflection Questions:
How can I make more room for Christ in my daily life?
In what ways can I show the love of Christ to others around me this week?
What part of Christ’s love do I find most difficult to understand or accept?
Feel free to discuss with a friend.
Prayer:
Father, thank You for Your endless love and the power You give us through Your Spirit. Help us to make room for Christ in our hearts every day and to live out Your love in all we do. Strengthen us so that we can grasp the vastness of Your love and be filled with Your fullness. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
God’s love is wider, longer, higher, and deeper than we can ever imagine. Let it fill your heart and overflow into your daily life, showing others just how transformative it can be.
AI BLESSINGS?
Yes, let’s show love to others and let’s be happy when someone receives it, just like the boy at the back. 🥹
BIBLE SHOWER THOUGHTS
If God's love is wider, longer, higher, and deeper than anything we can imagine, does that mean it's like the ultimate four-dimensional hug, wrapping us up from every angle?
If God’s love surpasses knowledge, does that mean even the smartest person on earth can’t fully understand it, making it the most delightful mystery ever?
If understanding God’s love is a lifelong journey, does that mean every day we get a little closer to comprehending the incomprehensible, making our lives a continuous adventure in divine discovery?
