Canyons Of Love

I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. 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 3:16-19 NIV Bible Gateway

I live out west and there are some pretty spectacular and impressive gorges and canyons out here such as the all familiar Grand Canyon not to discount the ‘Grand Canyon of the East‘ Walls of Jericho in my former state of Alabama.

Now imagine gazing over the edge of these massive landmarks made by God and thinking how deep God’s love for you is. His love for you would spill over the canyon edge.

As you look at the natural beauty of God’s creation you know He just has it right for you as well. No one can even fathom the amount of love God has for you. You can be mean, ugly, hateful, disrespectful, and yet He still loves you. Shouldn’t we as his creation likewise be able to treat each other kind? If you want to experience this kind of love cry out to God to set you free from the mundane, the rituals, the meanness, the anger and come and fill you to overflowing with the Holy Spirit.

PRAYER: Lord I thank you for your immense love for me that even when I don’t deserve it you give it unconditionally. Help me to learn to live in this way. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
