I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner 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, together with all the saints, 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.
Ephesians 3:16-19 (New International Version)
Wow.....You ever heard someone say take a bite out of that....this is a whole meals worth.... This is a lot of meat and can be explained several different ways....but ill just cover the basics...
This passage at its basic level is a prayer for you to know and understand the love of GOD...it talks about how blessed we can be and already are because of his love for us. This passage explains to us that his love is greater than knowledge....that part hits hard with me because I am a thinker before a feeler so to hear someone tell me that love is more important than knowledge really stands out and makes me take notice. I have heard this passage used for prosperity teachings....and I'm not all together against prosperity teachings ....they are apart of the Bible and deserve to be talked about...at this time in the world its nice to know that not everyone is out to tell us that we are in a recession...GOD wants us to flourish for his glory....but that's another topic...I'm just saying this has been used as a prosperity base and at first glance it can be ...but the heart of this message is the same heart of the bible....its about love..his love for us and how great it is. I encourage you to take some time today ....his day...and think about all the ways the LORD has tried to show you he loves you...you will be surprised when you actually sit down and take account for yourself how much love he has really put into you.
I know this is short but I hope it helps someone
Grace and Peace be upon you all
