17 that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love,
18 may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height—
19 to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
Soon as I read these few verses, one word stood out to me and it was love ...Love is not a mere word, it is not just a feeling. It exceeds all because God exceeds all, and God is love! May we be filled with all the fullness of God, fullness of love! Love is something that is bigger than ourselves. I mean if it has the power to brake chains that could have never been broken except by the sacrifice of ourselves because of sin... than how large, how vast, how deep it must be? Because it doesn't stop there! There are parts of love we haven't explored yet, merely because we haven't explored all the greatness of God! No, love is something we haven't even began to understand, and if we are only dipping our toes in at the beginning of this gigantic ocean of love set before us... than how powerful is our God! How big is this thing we're apart of? Love is a overwhelming force, how would it be to swim in it? To dive?....To be fully immersed? How would it be?
