The Miracle of the Fullness of God

The Lord inspired the Apostle Paul to include the following heartfelt prayer in one of his letters to the churches.

Ephesians 3:17-19, "I pray that Christ will live in your hearts by faith and that your life will be strong in love and be built on love. And I pray that you and all God's holy people will have the power to understand the greatness of Christ's love -- how wide and how long and how high and how deep that love is. Christ's love is greater than anyone can ever know, but I pray that you will be able to know that love. Then you can be filled with the fullness of God." (see New Century Version.)

We understand from this Scripture that God's love is total. It reaches every corner of our experience -- from the height of our celebration to the depth of our grief and sorrow. This love is too much to understand with our minds and much greater than we could ever comprehend, yet this wise apostle prays for a miracle! He prays that we would know God's love, so that we can be filled with the fullness of God!

It is impossible to know God's love completely, but that doesn't mean we should ever stop searching. The Lord promises that if we seek Him with our whole heart, we will find Him.

Is that where you are right now? Are you ready to seek to know God's love? Do you desire to know Him, to follow Him? Do you confess that you are unable to do so without His assistance?

Then, you are ready. Step out today and begin anew. He wants to show you a deeper love that will satisfy your hungry soul. Just ask.
