I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit. Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God's love and keep you strong. 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. Ephesians 3:16-18 NLT
How can you grow in your faith and in spiritual maturity? According to Paul, the key to growing stronger and more resilient in the Lord hinges on your awareness of God’s love and whether you rely on it. If you are rooted in God’s love, then you will be stable and strong. If not, you may be blown around by every circumstance, distraction, or attractive philosophy.
The nature of God’s love is worthy of your attention and meditation. Paul hopes that you will “understand” that God’s love is beyond your grasp. God’s love is so expansive and beyond grasping in its entirety that you will never fully know how much He loves you. This is why you can begin to live your life rooted in this never-ending, incomprehensibly vast love. You can always go deeper into God’s love.
Prayer: Jesus, help me to rest fully in You and Your love. May You reside in my heart, and may my life find its stability in You alone.
