That Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height— to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. Ephesians 3:17-19 (NKJV)
God loves you, and He wants you to be aware of that love that’s flooding into your life right now.
The trouble is, many people grow up learning that God is angry with them. They feel they need to hide from God, even though Jesus made it possible for us to live in His love. This is a big problem because we were not designed to live disconnected from God’s love.
Although we need love from people as well, there’s a type of love that can’t be found in anyone but God, the author of love! In fact, it’s that love—that completely unconditional, unending love—that empowers us to love others.
You may not always feel this love, but God’s love for you is not about feelings. It’s great to tap into God’s love in an emotional way, but His
love is always available, ready to fill your life, and feelings have nothing to do with it.
Today, open yourself up to be more aware of God’s love. Then stay aware of that love every day—looking for evidence of it in the good things that happen to you, in the kindness of others, in the wonder of creation and, most of all, in the Bible. And as you grow in your awareness of that love, you’ll also grow in your ability to share that love wherever you go.
