Ephesians 3:17-19  “that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height – to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.”

As a child our family didn’t drink much soda.  It was only on special occasions that we were given a glass of soda.  I remember watching as my mom would pour the soda into my glass and it would fizz.  I would rush to slurp off the foam so that my mom would pour me a full glass.  We did only get some on special occasions…….

God wants us to be full of His love, full of His goodness, full of His presence.  We access this fullness through our faith in Him and His desire to fill us with all that He is.  His son Jesus Christ is our connection to the Father. 

Christ must dwell in our hearts through faith.  As we become rooted and grounded in His love, we begin to comprehend the immeasurable love that God has for us.  It is a love that takes us past the inability to understand the how and why of God’s love to simply accepting His love with faith….

This leads us to being filled with all the fullness of God.  As that child watching the soda fizz and then subsequently shrink, I wanted a full glass and was willing to do whatever necessary to have my glass filled.  We should be willing to do whatever is necessary to be filled with “all the fullness of God”.   Thankfully all that is necessary is to believe.

PRAYER:  Heavenly Father, help me believe, that I might be filled with all the fullness of Your presence.  In Jesus Name.  Amen.
