Wide, Long, High, and Deep

Today's blog post is contributed by David Trotta:

“And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, 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, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.” (Ephesians 3:18-19)

God’s love is incredibly vast.  It’s…

Wide
Long
High
Deep

Are you questioning God’s love today?

Maybe you feel your sin has left a wide path of destruction, hurting those people closest to you, but God’s love is wide enough to cover your sin and rebuild any relationships that have been damaged.

Maybe you feel you’ve struggled with a particular sin for so long that you past the point of being forgiven, but God’s love is long enough to forgive you no matter how many times you’ve fallen.

Maybe you feel your sin is so great that a high and lofty God can’t forgive you, but His love is so high that He left the glory of heaven and came to earth to walk among us.

Maybe your saying “but you don’t know the depths of my sin and the horrible things I’ve done,” but God’s love is deep enough to wash away even the ugliest of transgressions.

Bottom line, NOTHING you’ve done or said can separate you from the love of God (Romans 8:38-39).  Zip, zero, nada.

Grab a hold of how much God loves you today and then let His love abide in you.  As your revelation of God’s love grows, it will surpass just head knowledge and fill your heart, increasing your capacity to love others.
