Love

Thanks to everyone for your prayers after my last post. Things are still getting worked out; it’s a very very frustrating process. Continued prayers would be much appreciated.

It’s been a really hard couple of weeks, and really, a trying 8 months… I’m tired. Yeah, it’s been that long already, crazy, less than a month to go now. In my time here I’ve been forced to learn a lot about myself, others, and God, and I’m still learning. For now I’ll leave you with this scripture I’ve been meditating on recently, Paul’s prayer for the Ephesians…

"For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom his whole family in heaven and on earth derives its name. 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 saints, 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.
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, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen." – Ephesians 3:14-21

I’m just trying to wrap my head around a little bit of that “love that surpasses knowledge.”
