"And I pray that Christ will be more and more at home in your hearts,
living within you as you trust in Him.
May your roots go down deep into the soil of God's marvelous love;
and may you be able to feel and understand,
as all God's children should,
how long, how wide, how deep, and how high His love really is;
and to experience this love for yourselves,
though it is so great that you will never see the end of it
or fully know or understand it.
And so at last you will be filled up with God Himself.
 
~ Ephesians 3:17 - 19 LB
 
A couple weeks ago Kara Curry who leads our women's ministry read this as our group met together.
 
It brought back memories. It was 13 years ago tomorrow that our daughter Merry was killed in a car/truck accident.
 
I was in the process of writing a third self-published devotional book titled "God's Love is Higher, Deeper, Wider". I had omitted the 'long' part in the title.
 
But as I read those powerful words in the few weeks following her death and the fact that it is talking about four dimensions (long, wide, deep, high), I knew that Merry was still included in 'that world' and 'ours'.
 
No matter what we may be going through, God is still part of it!
 
Thank You, God!
