Amazing Love

I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power . . . to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ.

Ephesians 3:17–18

If you need a light in the darkness today, ponder God’s amazing love for you:

• As He knit you together, He loved you (Psalm 139:13).

• Before you could choose Him, He chose you (John 15:16).

• When you were broken, bitter, and blaming, He made you whole and showed you the sweet taste of forgiveness (Psalm 103:8–12).

• When you had no hope, He became your hope (1 Peter 1:3).

• When you were too busy with the cares of this world, He interrupted you to show you what is eternal (Psalm 90:4).

• When you were lost, He found you, rescued you, and showed you that His mercy and justice will prevail (Luke 15).

• When you were disappointed, He taught you that disappointments can bring you to appointments He ordained (Romans 8:28).

Then, in His ultimate act of love, Jesus owned the cross—He made a way for us to be with God. Now you are empowered to know His love and bring His hope to a world desperate to know Him.

Lord God, Your love is overwhelming. Show me how to share Your light in the darkness.
