How Deep Is Your Love?

Written by my wonderful co-worker Kelli Ryan...I loved this!!

.

You know, the musical group of brothers called the Bee Gee's used to sing a song with those very words .... how deep is your love? ... and now we'll be singing that song in our heads for the rest of the day, won't we? ... but, seriously, have you ever thought about that ... how deep is your love? ... for those whom we love? Well, no matter how deep our love is, there is another love that goes very, very deep. Take a look ....

.
"For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth takes its name. I pray that, according to the riches of His glory, He may grant that you may be strengthened in your inner being with power through His Spirit, and that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith, as you are being rooted and grounded in love. I pray that you may have the power to comprehend, with all the saints, (... here it comes ....) what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, so that you may be filled with all the fullness of God." - Ephesians 3:14-19

.
There it is! The LOVE of God through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ who not only loves us deeply but also far and wide and way up high above! WOW! Now that is .... deep!
