LOVE WITHOUT LIMITS
And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God” (Ephesians 3:17-19).
Here, the Apostle Paul, through the Spirit lets us know how important it is for us to comprehend the immensity of God’s love; His boundless love, which can only be grasped by revelation. Thus, he prayed that by the help of God’s Spirit, God’s people would comprehend the limitless dimensions of the Father’s love: its length, and depth, and height.
Paul wasn’t just referring to having a mental knowledge or understanding of God’s love when he used the word “comprehend” in the scripture above. Rather, he used the Greek word “katalambano” which means to understand something and make it yours; to make it your present reality! Scientific knowledge or human mental activity can’t grasp the love of Christ. That’s why the Spirit of God, through the apostle Paul, prays that you’ll be able to comprehend the boundless, immeasurable, intimately infinite and unconditional love the Father has towards you. It’s love without limits.
God loves you! As simple as this truth may sound, if you dare believe it, and let it sink deep into your consciousness it will change your life forever, and give you a new confidence. God’s love is the greatest power in the universe. No wonder the Spirit of God, through the Apostle Paul prayed “…that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.”
Get secured in the Father’s love; take advantage of the fact that He loves you with an everlasting love (Jeremiah 31:3). He loves you as though you were the only one on earth! Thus every morning when you wake up, say, “Thank you Lord, for loving me so much, without limits!”
