Ephesians 3:17-19
I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide 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.
What of Today’s Verse…
Love that surpasses knowledge. That’s very difficult to explain, but when you have loved your spouse for decades you experience what this means. When you love a child and do what you never dreamed you could do for another human being, you understand this phrase. And when you stand before God, adopted as a full heir of all his great riches, a full sibling to Jesus Christ the Lord, and know you are seen as holy, without reproach, and blameless, you begin to understand this phrase.
Let us Pray:
Holy and incredible God, help me to know in my soul the love that is greater than words and knowledge so that I may not only be like you, but that I may know you in experience just as I know you in faith. Through Jesus I pray. Amen.

Sacred Connection
We are beloved of God.
God’s spirit is within me and every other person in the world. This is a sacred connection that we have with God and with one another.
I share a divine kinship with every man, woman, and child on the planet. I treat others with reverence and caring just as I would my own family. And I treat myself in the same caring way.
Kind thoughts and expressions of forgiveness, love, peace, and goodwill are shared by me and others. Those I pass on the street or in the workplace, and those who live in my home–we all share a common identity.
We recognize and treat one another as the beloved creations of God that we are.
“Like good stewards of the manifold grace of God, serve one another with whatever gift each of you has received.”–1 Peter 4:10
