'And to know the love of Christ, which passeth all knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God'
(Ephesians 3:19).
God's love is immeasurable and deeper than our finite minds can ever imagine. It is important to have a knowledge of Christ, but more so, to know Him intimately and experience His love. Paul's desire is for us to truly understand that God's love is more than having a knowledge; it is mighty and powerful and far beyond our comprehension. It is so deep and wide that we will never fathom it. We need to understand that God's love has a specific purpose - the fulness of God. You see, God's greatness exist in Jesus, His Son, and knowing Jesus surpasses all knowledge. We must be filled with Jesus through our deeds and actions; 'for in Him all the fulness of God was pleased to dwell.' (Colossians 1:19)
When we are filled with the incomprehensible love of Christ, we will be transformed and lives only for Christ. Then are we now able to be filled up to all the fulness of God. Our limited minds cannot understand the thoughts and ways of God, but one day in the earth made new, we will be able to see much clearer and understand better the greatness of God and the incomprehensible love of Christ. Being united in Christ, we are made complete in Him and therefore accepted by God the Father; because Christ dwells in the fulness of God. Let us therefore seek to abide in Christ. The more we abide in Him, the more He will abide in us and dwell in our hearts, in spirit and in truth. We ought to allow the Holy Spirit to fill us daily with the fulness of God, that is, filling us with the level of completeness we can attain as finite beings. Let us be in awesome wonder as we contemplate and reflect on the wonders of it all, and knowing that God loves us unconditionally.
Have a wonderful day 🌹🌹

The Lord is our Provider and knows all that we are in need of before we even ask. We do not need to worry or fret ourselves about what we shall eat or drink. Our Father in heaven will take care of these things we need. We are told by Jesus, 'To seek first the kingdom of God.' What does that mean? It means we should lean on, and trust in the grace of Jesus Christ. We should repent of our sins and have a desire to turn away from it. We should seek to put God first in our praise to Him, in our worship of Him, to put our total trust in Him and to rely on Him rather than ourselves or others. We need to seek Him first in our reassurance and acknowledging who He is and what He can do. We also need to seek God's righteousness by loving our neighbors and feeding the poor and destitute, seek justice for the vulnerable. We should put God's plan and
