So, last night as I was driving home from a meeting, the Lord gently nudged me to the prayer room. After about five minutes of arguing with Him, I finally said "Fine, I'll go." Do you ever do that? Anyway, as usual, I love how He pursues me heart. It was such a sweet time. While I was there, I had this revelation about His love. His love is like the waves of the ocean. Thinking back to the times I've been in an ocean, it wasn't the most gentle experience. The waves can push you around, pull you under...it's a force. But then there are those times of gentleness where the waves just roll in. During different seasons, the force of the waves change.
During different seasons of our lives we experience the fierceness and the gentleness of His love. His love over takes you, it will pull you under, it will crash over you. He wants, even needs you to be aware of his love by consuming you with waves and waves on every side. He doesn't do it because He has to, He does it because that is who He is. It's His way of getting our attention, of pursuing our heart, of reminding us that He is in love.
He has to get my attention and remind me by crashing in more often than I care to admit. But I love how He knows just how to get to my heart. He knows me so well. He knows you so well. He knows when He needs to be gentle and when the next wave needs to knock me down and pull me under. This is the kind of love that has no bounds. That will not end.
This is a love that is bigger than the ocean. There is no beginning. There is no end.
Ephesians 3:17-19
17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, 18 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, 19 and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.
