In Ephesians 3:14-19, Paul writes a specific prayer that he has for his young church. He prays that they would know “how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love THAT SURPASSES KNOWLEDGE”. Know a love that surpasses knowledge? Wow.
Until Lindsey and I had Layla, my understanding of “love” was very limited and small. Now, we have two little girls and there are times when my heart just can’t contain the amount of love I feel for my three incredible girls. This love is real and powerful, yet it pales in comparison to the love that God has for them. Just like Paul, I want them to know that love…both from me and from God.
So this week’s “Humbled By…” post is a humble prayer. A prayer similar to Paul’s;
“Layla, Adalei & Lindsey, I pray that out of His glorious riches He would strengthen you with power through His Spirit in your innermost being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge – that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.”
