Daily Devotion:
"The Fullness of God"
Ephesians 3:19-21
New International Version
19 and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. 20 Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, 21 to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.
Consider this example. We love our kids and often tell them so. But if we ask our kids to define love, then they (like most of us) would be at a loss for words. Love surpasses our ability to define it. Yet our kids believe us when we say, “I love you.” Why? Because they know the truth in a place deeper than words; they feel it. Their
knowledge about our love has been deepened and enriched by how they experience it in and through us.
And so we must pray that a knowledge of divine love would fill others with “all the fullness of God”. Imagine His good news pressed into all corners of life, bringing transformation in every dimension. That would go far beyond any New Year’s resolution we could design for ourselves.
