Reconnected to the Power Source

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.

“He asked that you would have the power to understand the un-understandable love of God. I love this idea of how God's love is unknowable, really. It's unfathomable. God is that than which nothing greater can be conceived. You can't think of love any higher. You think of the highest form of love, and that's God — yep — but he's more than that. Because you can't conceive of it. And he's saying that he wants you to know what's unknowable — that he would supernaturally just give you a deep understanding that is not possible from human means alone. Have you ever had those moments when the love of God comes over you? I'm going to say to you — I've seen the power of forgiveness be one of the most palpable demonstrations of love. … And when you forgive it, the release in yourself, and for others, is magnificent. It is the most powerful force on earth, when love and forgiveness are manifested. How wide and long and high and deep — like, all the dimensions — filled to all the fullness of God. We could have a love that is much greater than anyone could ever experience naturally. And this is part of the love that empowers amazing Christian marriages, right? When you just have that love that overcomes whatever difficulties in the way, because you both are sealed with the love of God, the power of God.”
