"And may you have the power to understand, as all God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is." E3:18
I don't think I can put it any other way than to say it straight forward: for so long I ran after my spouse and believe me it was an exhausting run, no wonder he ran away so fast😂. Instead of just running after our precious Beloved Lord and the best part is He on the other hand didn't run away, He waited for me with open arms.
As I read Living The Abundant Life, Chapter 16 this beautiful passage stood out for me and I just want to remind you precious woman:
Precious one, remember the chapter “Longing for Whom?” back in my first book Finding Your Abundant Life when it gave proof that to run after the Lord would mean that happiness would run after you? It is truer now than ever, dear bride. What is also true is that once you chase after the Lord, and He lets you catch Him—His love will change it all, everything. For there is none like Him, no, not in all this big world.
Read this part again: to run after the Lord would mean that happiness would run after you. And the best part His love WILL change it all! Isn't that beautiful!
I can testify after years and years of running after my spouse and things of the world, that there is no one in this whole big wide world like the Lord!!! His love truly changes everything! It's only He who could give me this peace and happiness that surpasses all understanding. So precious woman I want to encourage you to run after the Lord and see how He changes your whole life and you experience peace and happiness despite your circumstances, because our Darling Lord's love really surpasses all understanding!
"And to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God." E3:19
May I always appreciate and be thankful for the Lord’s love. That verse you shared is great. I’ve read it before but really think I should selah it. Let’s ask for our Beloved’s help to fully comprehend and never forget the extent of His love. Thank you for sharing Janine.
Yes precious Hope, lets never ever forget the extent of His love.
…Also, this part made me literally laugh out loud:
“believe me it was an exhausting run, no wonder he ran away so fast😂.”
haha thank you for that. 😆
Isn’t it wonderful how our Darling Lord gives us laughter, because years ago I would have never thought about laughing about how I really ran after my spouse😂
I love the opening promise!! It took me years of talking to my Heavenly Husband, to truly understand that kind of love!! Is amazing to be loved exactly the way we are and to be accepted no matter our past, present of future decisions! The lover of our souls is waiting for us, to change the way we perceive the world and is just a prayer away!
It also took me years precious Isabella, I can’t believe I always said the Lord doesn’t love me, I was so very very wrong.
Thank you Janine, the author has selected your praise to be added to this published book!
