My Ruler is Too Short to Measure God's Love

"Father, out of Your honorable and glorious riches, strengthen Your people. Fill their souls with the power of Your Spirit so that through faith the Anointed One will reside in their hearts. May love be the rich soil where their lives take root. May it be the bedrock where their lives are founded so that together with all of Your people they will have the power to understand that the love of the Anointed is infinitely long, wide, high, and deep, surpassing everything anyone previously experienced. God, may Your fullness flood through their entire beings." (Ephesians 3:16-19, The Voice)

As I sit and write this morning, I am awestruck that millions of worshipers around the world will gather today to proclaim and celebrate the infinite love of God. From ornate cathedrals to underground secret meeting places, from storefronts to living rooms, from shade trees to barns ... Everywhere God's people are gathered, He is present. And His love defies measurement ("infinitely long, wide, high, and deep").

Certainly His love can be celebrated apart from the gathering of His people. His love is the same. But the celebration and awareness of it is not the same apart from the gathering.

With whom will you celebrate today?
