And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, 18 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. (Ephesians 3:17-18)
I think I’m learning to grasp just how much God loves me through the love I have for Jackson! My heart delights in watching him do the smallest things and I’m overcome with a love that I never knew before him. The sight of him picking up puffs with his tiny fingers and putting them in his mouth has literally brought tears to my eyes.
The site of his long, long, lashes and kissable lips, are a reminder of the glorious details of a creative God.
And in moments like that, I realize my love for Jackson is just a glimpse of how God feels about me and all of His children. Can you even grasp that? He loves us beyond what we can comprehend, he cares about the tiniest of details in our lives. Let that sink in.
Today I pray that you will grasp this love that God has for you. That it will overwhelm you and change you.
I love this, Jenn! This verse came to my mind when I first read GRASP too! 🙂 Love Five Minute Friday….it’s always one post that doesn’t seem overwhelming to write no matter how busy I am because it only takes a few minutes! Loved reading this. Jackson is so precious….you are so blessed!
amen and amen. how true!!!! it is so inspiring and so humbling. thanks for sharing.
LOVE!
Love, love, love this.
This is gorgeous! It’s very close to the idea that first came into my head when I saw the word for the week, but my piece turned into something different. I’m glad it did too, because you wrote it out so eloquently!
