What does crazy love look like? When you think of how much God loves us, you get a glimpse of crazy love. As we begin to trust God, Paul tells us, we “have the power to understand, as all God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is.” He has a never-ending love. We continue to test it, but his love goes on.
When you think of how we push the limit, testing God and his faithfulness, it’s frightful. Why do we do that? Some of us are more obedient than others, but bottom line–we all fall short. God has so much more planned for us. We can’t begin to fully comprehend that much love and grace. Do you take God’s love for granted? Do you even realize how much you are loved?
It’s Paul’s wish for those in Ephesus, and for us, that even though we can’t fully comprehend God’s love we should embrace it and experience it. When we do that, we are then able to tap into the power God has for us, and our life is full and more complete. Sounds easy, right? Not for most of us. We have a hard time accepting such love and realizing the benefits.
Yet, God has given us access to his mighty power. We’ve heard that before. Do we question how it all works? We should never question God’s abilities. He is able to do all things. The really amazing part is that we can’t begin to think big enough. We may pray, but we need to ask for more.
In our mindset training for our business, we are told to think of ourselves in our future, picturing ourselves where we want to be. Otherwise, we limit ourselves and stifle our potential. I have begun to think bigger and picture myself in my future. I often ask God, “what do you have for me?” His plans for me are prosperous, both in terms of finances and in the number of people we can reach for the kingdom.
Do you limit God in your prayers? Do you stifle your potential with self-limiting beliefs? Reread this text and see how it empowers you.
Let’s pray. Lord, I give you thanks for your great love for me. It’s crazy love, and I have a hard time believing I am worthy. You know I am working on this, accepting your unconditional love. May your power wash over me and give me exactly what I need to make it through the day. I stand amazed at how you use me. Thank you for your faithfulness and belief in me. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
