GOD IS LOVE

 

GOD IS LOVE Then you, being rooted and grounded in love, will have power, together with all the saints, to comprehend the length and width and height and depth of the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. Ephesians 3:18-19 Scripture says, “God is love” 1 John 4:8. In other words, God is the very definition of what pure and genuine love actually is. Yet it is often hard to fully grasp what this means and how God’s supernatural love can revolutionize our lives. Understanding more about God’s love and the power it contains is important in experiencing the fullness of life God desires for us. As humans, we tend to define love based on our own personal experiences of the love we show one another, which we know is fallible and flawed. We must remember that God’s love is perfect, and he loves every person with relentless and extravagant love to which no human love can compare! There is nothing God does or could ever do apart from his love, for love is the essence of who God is. God’s love is radiant and brilliant, steady and unchanging, solid and firm, complete and whole. God’s love cannot be contained or restrained; when we are filled with it, we are compelled to love others as he does. Imagine being loved with such boundless love—because you are! Today, meditate on how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is for you, and allow it to fill every part of you. Right now, God’s radiant light of unfailing, never-ending love surrounds you. Feel the warmth of his light and love as you draw near to him today.
