长阔高深
“能以和众圣徒一同明白基督的爱是何等长阔高深,”
以弗所书 3:18
你是否曾经跳进游泳池后,让自己漂浮在广阔的水面以下?那时候,无论你怎么伸展双臂,你感到的只是水;无论你怎么前后左右游动,你感到的还是水。你潜下去,是水;浮上来,还是水。你整个人,已经被水包围了。
现在,想象一下你在一个无边无际的水池里。一个完全没有边缘的水池,你可以随心所欲、上下左右前后地游泳。你永远被水环绕和拥抱。你是否感觉震撼?这就是当你沉浸在耶稣的爱里的感受。
今日祷告:
耶稣,我不知道我是否愿意完全被你长阔高深的爱所环绕。也许对我来说这种爱太大了。但我祈求祢给我能力来明白你的大爱。阿们!
May 26 – Love Is
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.
E P H E S I A N S 3 : 1 8
Have you ever jumped into a pool and allowed yourself to float under the surface in the expanse of the water? In any direction that you waved your arms, there was only water. If you extended right or left, in front of you or behind you, there was only water. If you reached down, water. If you stretched upward, water. Your whole self was immersed in this new understanding.
Now imagine being submerged in an endless pool—no, not one of those pools that spills over the sides and overlooks a valley (though that sounds really nice)—more like a pool with no edges at all. You could swim in any direction (down, up, left, right, forward, back) and still not be any closer to edge than you were before. Overwhelming? Frightening? This is what it is like to be immersed in the love of Jesus.
Pray for the Day:
Lord Jesus, I’m not sure if I want to be completely overwhelmed by your love. It might be too much for me. But I pray that you will give me the power to understand how much your love covers me. Amen.
