How Deep, How Wide, How Measureless Is My Love For You

“How deep, how wide, how measureless is My Love for you! (Ephesians 3:17-19) You cannot fathom the price that I paid for you on the cross. (1 Corinthians 6:20) It is truly beyond your comprehension. My Blood poured out as a sacrifice for all mankind. (Matthew 26:28) How do you downplay My Gift that was so freely given for all? (1 Corinthians 2:12) How do some say they don’t need or want Me? (Isaiah 53:3) How do others receive just the bare minimum of My Salvation to enter into the gates of heaven? Why do you not long within yourself to know Me—really and truly know Me—on a deeper, personal, more powerful, and transformational level? (John 7:28, John 14:9) Why do you not seek Me out and search for Me with all your heart?” saith the Lord. (Jeremiah 29:13)

“I Am here. (Isaiah 41:10) I Am calling your unto Myself. (Philippians 3:14) I Am gently nudging you, leading and guiding you. (Proverbs 4:11) I Am directing your steps. (Jeremiah 10:23, Proverbs 16:9) For the steps of a righteous man are ordered by Me. (Psalm 37:23) Choose to walk in the path that I have created you for and placed you on. (Deuteronomy 30:16, Jeremiah 6:16) It is not of yourself, lest you should boast, (Ephesians 2:9) but it is My Purpose and Plan for you. (Jeremiah 29:11) I Am seeking out those who will follow Me through the refining fire. (Job 23:10, 1 Peter 1:7) And although it may be painful for a time, it will not last forever. (Hebrews 12:11) This season will prove that you are with Me and I Am in you,” saith the Lord. (John 14:20)

“Trials may come. Uncertainty may abound for a time. But as you place your faith in Me, more and more, (Psalm 118:8) the noise fades and My Peace envelops you. (John 14:27) As you press in deeper, and turn everything over to Me, even your innermost being, (Psalm 51:6) the more powerful you will become for the Kingdom. When you do not withhold anyone or anything from Me, (Psalm 84:11) when you place it all at My Feet, when you feel your weakest and most vulnerable, that’s when I can move in you. That’s when you let Me mold and remake you,” saith the Lord. (Isaiah 64:8)

“That’s when you begin to understand that My Grace is sufficient for you (2 Corinthians 12:9) and My Love is never ending (John 3:16) and it is all consuming. (Hebrews 12:29) When you come to the end of yourself, knowing that you have no clue how to fix the mess that is your life, that’s when I can transform a catastrophe into a beautiful masterpiece and a testimony of My Goodness and Grace. (Romans 12:2) It really doesn’t have anything to do with what you can do, only humble yourself and submit to My Will for your life, (James 4:7, 10) knowing that I Am in Control of All things,” saith the Lord. (Romans 8:28)

“So why not walk in My Peace? Why not choose to give yourself over to Me—the One who Created you—who knows you better than you know yourself? Why not embrace an abundant life that flows in My Spirit? Why not choose to yield yourself—your hopes and dreams, your failures and shame—surrender your whole being completely unto Me. For when you do, a transformation begins in you. My Cleansing and Sanctifying Power washes over you like a flood and My Holy Spirit begins to pour through you. (1 Corinthians 6:11) And as you yield to My Holy Spirit, (Romans 6:13-18) I will pour into you until you overflow so that you can begin to pour into others as My Spirit moves. (Acts 2:17, Luke 6:38) The abundant life begins when you plant yourself by My Living Water that you may become established and rooted in the faith,” saith the Lord. (Psalm 1:3, Ephesians 3:17)

“When you come to the end of yourself and your selfish desires, I will prune away the dead parts and replace them with fresh, new, and alive ones that bear fruit—My Fruit—The Fruit of My Spirit. (John 15:2, 8; Galatians 5:22-23) An abundant life unfolds when you surrender your all and trust Me to use you as My willing and obedient servant. (Romans 12:1, Isaiah 1:19) Nothing will be impossible for you when you place all your faith and trust in the One who created you—the One who died for you—and the One who wants to lead and guide you to live in My Abundant Mercy, Grace, and Blessings,” saith the Lord of Hosts. (Luke 1:37, Matthew 17:20, 1 Peter 1:3)
