17 Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God’s love and keep you strong. 18 And may you have the power to understand, as all God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is. 19 May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God. Ephesians 3:17-19 (NLT)
The other day I got to spend time with my grandsons. This is my favorite thing to do! Some of the family had gathered for breakfast. As we were leaving, I was carrying my oldest grandson and I said “Do you know how much I love you?”
He got this big, huge smile on his face and threw his arms out wide! I hugged him tight and said “That’s right! I love you so very much!”
It made me think of God. He is saying to us all the time “Do you know how much I love you?”
Our response should be to get a big, huge smile on our faces and throw our arms open as wide as we can and say with assurance “Why yes! Yes, I do!”
