One of the most difficult human endeavors is to grasp how big God’s love is for us. The second half of Ephesian 3:17 and all of 3:18 says, 17a 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. God’s love is multidimensional and beyond anything we could ever experience. God’s love is wide because it reaches out to everyone. His love is long because it spans the entire length of our lives, from birth to death, no matter where we are or how much we may or may not deserve it. His love is high because it reaches beyond the height of our highest elations. And His love is deep because it reaches to the depth of our suffering and even to death. We are never beyond the reach of God’s great love. Even when we feel lost and isolated His love is always in our presence and always within us.
