Measure it!

I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, 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. (Ephesians 3:16-19 NIV)

Life is so complicated and full of peril. This world, our country, and our lives are in peril. We teeter on destruction every moment of every day. We have wars, terrorism, death, disease, famine, disaster, tragedy, and a mood of evil everywhere. Our streets are not safe, innocent women and children are not safe. It isn't even safe in our own families. Fathers and mothers are abusing their children. In churches, pastors and priests assault the weak and vulnerable. Through all the pain and suffering in this moment, you can have a light heart because of Christ. You can be strengthened with power and blessed in the midst of evil. The knowledge of a God that created all things loves you in a way that can not be described with mere words, is truly amazing. 

We are not alone, all Christians stand together to know his love and take part in this wonderful life we have been granted. He loves us beyond in and through the evil of this world. You can't take a ruler to measure how much he loves us. You can't measure it in one, two, three, or four dimensions. The blessings are immeasureable even by Gods standards. Praise God that he loves us. He is our way through this world. He has prepared a place for us and I can't wit to arrive!
