The Love of Christ

Ephesians 3:18 describes the love of Christ as having 4 Dimensions; The Breathe (Wide), The Length (Long), The Height (High) and The Depth (Deep)

I was checking myself based on these four dimensions, and I asked: ·

Wide: Can I love everybody even though they may not love me and might even throw my love back in my face? ·

Long: Can I love them for as long as it takes for them to grow and come up to my level of reality and truth? ·

High: Can I always reach the heights of God, to Love as God Loves, despite the situation I’m in and how I may feel in the moment? ·

Deep: Can I reach way down and love those that the world and society at large despise, have marginalised, and have cast out?

‘It’s hard, ya... it’s hard!’

I guess that’s why Christ said, that we must pick-up our cross and follow Him.

Peace Peace.
