A prayer to grasp the fullness of God's love by Alicia Headley, read by Leah Martin.

And I pray that you, being rooted in established in love, may have power, together with all the

Lord's people to grasp how wide and how long and high and deep is the love of Christ.

And to know this love that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled to the measure of all

the fullness of God, Ephesians 3, 17 through 19.

From the day we're born, we all have a thirst and hunger to be full, to be whole, to

be complete, to be loved.

We live in a fallen world, and are born into this world as fallen, broken, not quite

whole people.

Many of us search to satisfy this love longing through the things of this world, whether

it's love from other people or trying to achieve a great amount of success or just

filling our lives with distraction after distraction, we're left still feeling hungry

and thirsty for more.

We will either be graspers of God's love or graspers for lesser loves of this world.

What would your life begin to look like if you grasped the fullness of God's love rather

than spending your days trying to frantically grasp at other things?

What if you begin to stop grasping the shaky things of this world and start grasping

onto the unshakable love of God?

In today's scripture, Paul is praying for all of us to fully understand how to grasp

the fullness of God, but it's impossible to grasp the fullness of God without grasping

the fullness of God's love.
