"That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; 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."
Paul prays that we would be rooted in love. Not in our performance, our reputation, or how others see us, but in the love of Christ. When love is the soil, everything else grows well.
Many of us know about God's love but struggle to believe it is truly for us. Paul says this love passes knowledge: it is bigger than we can explain. Today, stop trying to earn what has already been freely given. You are loved, fully and completely.
Prayer
Father, root me and ground me in Your love. Help me to grasp how wide and long and high and deep it is. Fill me with all Your fullness. Amen.
Today's step
Say aloud three times today: "I am loved by God, not because of what I do, but because of who He is."
