One of my prayers for my boys is Ephesians 3:16-21 with an emphasis on verse 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.” I know that if they can grasp just an inkling of the depth of this love of Christ, they will be ok.
How deep is God’s love for us?
It runs deeper that the center of the earth. Deeper than the deepest part of the ocean.
It is an endless love. A timeless love. A love that pursued me relentlessly. It is a radical and scandalous love. A love that, while I was still a sinner, died for me.
We will never experience a Love like this and I pray that I or my children will never minimize this Love in my mind, heart, and soul.
