14 For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, 15 from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, 16 that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being, 17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, 19 and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
20 Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, 21 to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen.
Do you understand Christ's love? I sure don't! Sometimes I think I get it, I'll catch glimpses of what it means then other times, as life goes on and tough times hit, I forget and think I need to go it alone, that I have to make all the decisions. I start to get anxious about how we're going to make ends meet again, how I'm going to keep busy, and the list goes on. Then I read these verses "Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that I ask or think...." God knows my situation, and even though part of me thinks He's just sitting there letting it happen and not doing anything, I pray that He will give me the strength to trust that He's got it under control. He won't let me sink but will give me whatever I need for my salvation. That's it. I don't need anything more, but that's the hard part. I want more.
