We search for what we do not know, driven by what we cannot recognize. What is life about? There is a way, the lost way, with answers for us all.
Devotional
Ephesians 3:19a NASB
…and to know the love of Christ…
We do not know the love that is God-love. We believe His love is like our insipid, self-loving love.
We have a box for love. It is pretty, it is wrapped in a ribbon, and it is always sweet. But the love of Christ was rugged and gentle, confronting and compassionate. Yet He was no contradiction; He was the full scope of God’s love, which loves enough to fight you for you.
