"Somebody will say something like "I can't help myself" but let me tell you something. Listen, the devil can't make a Child of God do anything. He cannot make you. He will lead you, he will guide you, he'll entice you, tempt you but he can't make you." - Dr. Charles Stanley.
Once you have surrendered yourself to Christ, once you have been born again, and once you're gifted with the Holy Spirit, you are a Child of God and therefore you're no longer a slave to the world. You're no longer a slave to the spiritual principalities that rule this word (Ephesians 2:2, Proverbs 1:10).
As a Child of God we are called and expected to walk in step with the Holy Spirit on a "moment by moment" basis. Meaning we don't seek him once a day, once a week, once a month, only when we're in trouble and distress, but on a moment to moment basis. Seeking him every moment of everyday.
We do this because everyday we wake up we face three enemies:
The world
The flesh
The devil
This is why we seek the Spirit on a moment by moment basis. We seek his council, his wisdom, his strength. We seek him when we are inevitably confronted by one of these three enemies and they can come at any moment.
Moment by moment we should be listening to the Holy Spirit. Why? Because he is our guide. He is our gift from the Father above.
Trust me, I know how hard it can be to struggle with sin, to struggle with giving in. I understand just as much as anybody. But I promise you, it's possible to live life without sin, I've done it before, I can do it again. And I know you can too. Amen, may God bless you, always. đ¤
[14] The Spirit is Godâs guarantee that he will give us the inheritance he promised and that he has purchased us to be his own people. He did this so we would praise and glorify him.
For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.

I canât ever respect you, you bounded everything to make me hate you. Itâs same thing every time, everyone has fun and you make light-hearted joke until you get ostracised and bullied. Not everybody can makes jokes apparently, but not all people can be friends as well. I am forced to be evil because you need me to be one. I canât be your friend neither a bystander, I need to be the consummate for your friendships.

11- Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12-Â For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. 13- Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14- Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; 15- And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16- Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. 17- And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: 18-Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;

One of my fave story ideas. I hope I get around to expanding on it!
'The new boy was a demon straight from hell, who came to corrupt their school and she was the only one who was trying to do something about it.'
Fourteen-year-old Gabriella Pierre seems to be the only person at her school not completely enamoured by the supernaturally beautiful Cyrus Hinds, the new boy in their year. A simple touch of hands reveals to her an insidious visage and dark designs now intent on destroying her life.
'What better way for a demon to mess with a teenage girl than to 'fall in love' with her?'

The new boy was a demon. She knew that it was hard to believe. Her friends didn't even believe her when she tried to tell them! They laughed, thinking she had a crush on the thing and was trying to deny it! The new boyâthingâcreature, calling itself Cyrus was a demon straight from hell, who came to corrupt their school and she was the only one who was trying to do something about it.
He came to their school in the middle of the second term, an awkward time to transfer schools, especially secondary schools. He was placed in class 3-B as they had space from a couple of students who transferred out the years before. Gabriella was in class 3-D, so she didn't see or hear much about the new boy until lunchtime. She sat with her friends, Amaya, Kadiah and Marissa at their usual corner table in the cafeteria. Huffing softly, she listened as they gushed about him.
Amaya, being from 3-B, had all the gossip. Their usually quieter friend had a lot to say. With stars in her eyes and awe in her voice, she told them about the tall, handsome boy with deep brown skin and eyes like Brown Obsidian gems. His voice was warm and sweet like hot chocolate, his smile was as bright as diamonds andâ
âHe's the most beautiful boy I've ever seen!" she signed dreamily. Her wild curly hair flew around her, seeming to be taking part in her excitement and her glasses nearly fell off her face as she gestured wildly.
Gabriella huffed again.
"That's not saying much, Maya. Boys aren't that cute in the first place."
Marissa sighed in exasperation.
"Oh come on, girl. I know you have high standards when it comes to boys, but this one sounds like he would definitely surpass them!" She flicked her long plait over her shoulder, grinning mischievously.
Not this again. Gabriella rolled her eyes.
"I have zero standards for them because I expect them to always be up to no good!"
Her friends laughed good-naturedly.
"Whatever you say, Gabs," Kadiah chuckled. Her fingers were twirling one of her twists as she turned back to Amaya, who took that as her cue to continue singing praises about the new boy.
Suddenly, there was a commotion at the entrance. A small crowd was starting to form and voices were rising.
'Ahh,' she thought. 'The man of the hour is here.'
Sure enough, as the crowd parted like the red sea, the new boy came into view.
Oh wow. Gabriella felt her heart flutter a little in her chest. She frowned. It seemed Amaya wasn't exaggerating. He actually was that beautiful.
She thought he looked like one of those royal elves from the Young Adult novels the girls liked to swoon over. He was tall and trim with wide shoulders and a slim waist. The boring white shirt and purple trousers that was the boysâ uniform looked like designer wear on him. He had smooth skin with a few moles here and there and warm dark eyes. He smiled at the people around him, dazzling them with his pearly white teeth. His afro hair was cut into a fade with pentagram star designs on each side of his head. She was surprised he got away with that.
Everyone seemed to be eager to meet the new boy, practically throwing themselves in his face for him to notice them. Gabriella looked on in confusion, her face screwing up at the behaviour. What kind of circus show was this? Are they not embarrassed? These kinds of things only happened in the movies! She couldn't believe people were behaving this way. And over a boy! Sure, a very handsome boy, but still!
"Ahhhhh!" Amaya whisper-squealed. "He's coming this way!" She had latched on to Gabriella's arm squeezing and shaking her. Slapping her friend's hands away, she watched as the new boy made his way over to their table. Already a bit annoyed and not really in the mood to be nice, she spoke before the boy could open his mouth.
"What are you doing here?"
Her friends were aghast, trying to apologize to him and scold her at the same time. He waved them off, laughing softly. Her friends melted. Ugh.
"Amaya right?" he asked. Not waiting for an answer from the girl, he pulled out a sparkly pink pen from his trousers pocket, holding it out to her.
"Thanks for letting me borrow it."
Amaya took the pen reverently. Marissa and Kadiah gaze upon it as if it held the secrets to the universe. Amaya, still too shocked to say anything just nodded, still giggling.
Not missing a beat, the new boy carried on the one-sided conversation. "Are these your friends?"
That shook her back into existence. Amaya jerked, almost falling out of her chair.
"Yeah-Yes!" she almost yelled. "Th-these are my friends Marissa, Kadiah and Gabriella, who's normally really nice." She gave Gabriella an annoyed yet pleading look.
'Play nice and please don't embarrass us to death,' she seemed to say. "Everyone, this is Cyrus!"
Gabriella rolled her eyes but kept quiet. Cyrus smiled at the group and her friends visibly swooned. Honestly! She was starting to feel like she was in a teen drama!
"Nice to meet you all," he said. He held out his hand to shake. Kadiah, who was closest took it immediately, with both of hers.
"Yes, sooo nice to meet you!" she gushed.
Amaya and Marissa were more dignified, softly shaking his hand and giggling all the while. Gabriella stared at his hand for a few seconds. She looked up at him and scowled slightly when she saw that he was grinning down at her. He cocked an eyebrow in challenge. Fine then. She took his hand.
And thatâs when things grew weird and terrifying.
Where their hands touched, smoke began to form and deep, nasty burns bloomed across his skin. The air filled with the stench of rotting flesh. Before she could pull back in horror, he did. He yanked his ruined hand back, cradling it to his chest. He hissed at her, his beautiful face contorting grotesquely. And not in the normal way your face goes ugly when you're angry. No, his face grew long and his mouth wide. His teeth went from perfect pearls to long, crooked, yellow daggers. His ears grew tall, long and pointed, like some kind of animal's and his eyes flashed bright and red, burning with a fire that could only be from hell.
Before she could scream, everything went back to normal.
Gabriella blinked, still frozen from the terror at what she saw. But Cyrus looked normal. Normal, pretty face and perfect smile. No pointy ears or red hellfire eyes. His hands were tucked into his pockets, but he wasn't behaving as if he had horrible third-degree burns. She slowly looked around at her friends, and at the other students in the cafeteria. No one was acting out of the ordinary. No one was acting as if Cyrus had just transformed into a monster. He wasn't acting as of he had just transformed into a monster.
Gabriella looked on as he made an excuse to leave, something about needing to head to the principal's office. Her friends cheerfully said their goodbyes. Amaya elbowed her not too gently.
"Fix your face," she hissed.
Gabriella felt the deep frown on her face. She smoothed out her expression but didn't bother to smile as her eyes met his. They were warm and brown and shining with interest. He didn't look upset but intrigued. He smiled at her, a slow, small smile that was meant to look shy.
"See you later, Gabriella?"
His eyes flashed red for just a millisecond. Her breath caught in her throat. She wanted to get up and scream at him, curse him out, maybe grab his face to see if it would burn just like his hand. But no. She would look crazy and get in trouble for attacking the new boy. So she smiled her fakest smile and said,
"See you later, Cyrusâ.
Gabriella had some investigating to do.
ALONE IN THE DARK:
By Hannah Blakely
All alone in the dark.
Is He there or is He not?
Is He here or gone?
Bruises and scars on her arms and heart.
Is she even worth a thought.
Crying alone in the dark,
Is her tears even enough?
Are her suffocating echos vibrant or loud enough.
Is she as valuable as a diamond in the rough.
Or as ugly as the sin in her heart.
Are her desires her own faults?
What she hears and sees she doesn't comprehend.
Is it the enemy or is it her Friend.
All alone in the dark
Is He there or is He not?
Is He here or gone?
Bruises and scares stain her arms and heart.
What's become of her she thought?
She's a mess, How could she be of worth?
Who would want this broken puzzle piece that's missing it's parts.
Alone in the dark she feels.
I'm not useful so let me not hinder you.
Believing in those words she secludes her soul.
Unpacking her bags in the dark where she thought alone,
Came this gentle touch of a hand on her shoulder.
Saying "oh my daughter why do you keep your tears from me?"
"Don't you remember I hold your tears close to me"
"I understand every tear that waters your face, knowing what you not say."
The daughter replies " But I am a burden that's lazy and sheep that has gone atray. I cry so much does that mean I'm not ok?"
In a comforting voice He replies
"Oh sweet child of mine. Life is hard and bitter sweet. I know. But keep your eyes on Me. The Truth. The Light. I will guide you through the valley of darkness. No your not perfect that one thing is true, but you have been saved because I died for you. I'd do it again without hesitation for you are the one I adore."
She cries even louder with flushed red cheeks and scrunched up face screaming out for the first time.
"But how? I still look down on my other brother's and sisters. I judge when I should not. I don't keep my promises and I loose my train of thoughts. At times I don't keep my composure to where it afflicts others. I repugnance at myself. I'm fake. A foney. How can I be a follower of someone so perfect as you?"
In a stern loving Father voice He says
"Your alone in the dark you say. A sheep that has gone astray. Have you forgotten my daughter for even that 99th sheep who's gone astray I seek. Your are precious to me. More than the birds that soar through the skies. For I have made you in my image you see. So precious to me that I wait to hear your voice. The snorts you make with laughter, your red rosie cheeks that light up, the caring blue in your eyes. Don't fight it and come to me. I've won the war that you so desperately keep fighting on your own. Lay it down at my feet. Lay it down and come to peace."
His daughter wipes her tears,
Collecting each one
Handed them over in a clear mason jar.
Her soul sang
Here my Lord, my Father, my King. I hear your voice. I come at your feet. Alone in the dark I once believed in. But seeing Your Light I can breath again.
These scars and stains are here to stay as a reminder of my journey through my Faith.
I will give you every tear when I have no words for I know you understand what I not say.
When I feel alone in the dark I will sing loud to remind me that I am not.
You've been here all along.
Waiting for me oh so patiently for your daughter to come to your arms.
Alone in the dark.
Is He there or is He not?
Alone in the dark.
Is He here or is He gone?
Looking to Him seeing the magnificent Light.
I know I'm not alone in the dark anymore.
Happy New Year 2025 to everyone!âĽď¸đđđ
Wow, another year already? Man, last year was crazy. Like, every month, there was something crazy.
But despite that, I'm sure some of you all had some wonderful times in 2024. What were they?
And what do you hope for this upcoming year?
Whatever it may be, may God bless you all and keep everyone in your lives safe this blessed year in His name we pray, Amen and welcome, 2025 in the year of our Lord.
I think many people need clarification on the catholic religion's stance on the LGBTQ+ community and I'm going to give it to you.
Firstly I have seen a lot of people talk about how the text was mixed up and the words were actually mistranslated, now I don't know if this is true, but for argument's sake, we are going to pretend that it was not. But even if that wasn't true people (read: mostly Catholics) are misinterpreting what it says so here.
so, in the bible, it says that a man can not have sex with a man. now let's look at this. It does not say a man can not be in a relationship with another man, and it says nothing about female x female relationships or any other LGBTQ+.
Also, we as Catholics are not supposed to judge others for their choices or actions so whenever you call someone out for being gay and being like "you're going to hell!" your sining -_-.
AND if you're going to call out other people for being gay because it's a "sin," then start calling out people for every other sin. I mean divorce, cursing, sex before marriage, racism, harassment, hatred in general.
In conclusion, if you call out people for being gay, it ain't because you're a catholic, it's because you're a homophobic asshole.
Me, donning my shield of faith, breastplate of righteousness, and sword of the Spirit: ah lads, here we go again
My sister: why are you so Bedeckedâ˘ď¸ we're literally going to school
Me, putting on my helmet of salvation: BECAUSE
Sister: it keeps going
Me, almost falling over, tugging on the boots of peace: IM GONNA NEED THESE IF I HAVE TO DEAL WITH HOOLIGANS
You know, I think it's nice that the story of the Samaritan woman is in the Bible. Like, in those times, women were not often given very many freedoms, and not often mentioned in texts, so I enjoy it very much.
And also, I think it's very nice because Jesus is just hanging out at a well, vibing, as one does, and He offers this lady---whose people hate his people---the love of Christ. Like He is SUPPOSED to not like this lady because of her culture and her people; Jewish people in that time would literally WALK AROUND Samaria just so they didn't have to talk to the people there (That's also what the Disciples wanted to do)!
So Jesus coming to this woman out of the blue, forgiving her of any sins she had committed, and generally being kind to her in a time of sexism cultural dislike is AMAZING! Not only is He defying societal norms by going through Samaria and seeing the people there, He's also speaking with this woman because he wanted to! Because He cared!
Jesus doesn't care what your past is, where you come from, or if you've done wrong in your life. He loves YOU, regardless of what you've done in the past.
And I just
I like that.
Me reading the book of Matthew and Jesus's parables: dang. Bro is dropping straight BARS.
Like at the end of Matthew 17, J-man and His bros (Jesus and His disciples) go to the temple in Capernaum, and the guard dudes are like, "yo, yall gotta pay the Temple Taxâ˘ď¸"
And Peter is like, "My lord, is it right to pay the temple tax?"
And Jesus basically goes, "Does the king take taxes from his children?"
Peter: "uhhhhhhhh no"
Jesus: "then the children are exempt for the tax. However, these guys will throw a hissy fit if we don't pay, so go catch a fish, and in its mouth you'll find some coins to pay it with"
(Matthew 17:24-27, NIV)
Like bro??? Again, he is just slaying in everything he's in!!! My Lord is an icon!!!! Literally!!!! Praise be to him cause NOBODY else can be such an icon!!!
this is coming from a formerly bi kiddo: People always treat correction as an act of hateâ-it's not.
If we hated you, we'd say "you're going to hell." "God wants nothing to do with you." THOSE Christians have got to get their $hit together.
but correction isn't a bad thing. remember when Jesus spoke to the adulterous woman? âneither do I condemn you. Now go and sin no more.â He said calmly
"For God so LOVED the world, He gave His One and Only Son, so that WHOEVER believes in Him will not perish, but have everlasting life. For the Son of Man did NOT come to condemn the world, but to SAVE it.â -John 3:16-17
"for the righteous man falls seven times and rises again" Proverbs 24:16.
such a bad@ss verse.
one day at a time, kids. i love you and i'm rooting for you. if you have religious trauma, i'm so sorry that Christ was misrepresented. you were in a "religious" home or enviornment. not a Christian home or environment
âStay close to anything that makes you glad you are alive.â
â Hafiz
I love you, my lgbt brothers and sisters. I may not condone the actions, but you all are still my brothers and sisters.
Iâm sorry that both Christians and non-Christians treated you like freaks. Your feelings are valid. Itâs okay to not be okay. This earth isnât home anyway. This is the warzone. Heaven with God is the real home. Life on Earth is just the journey.
but there are ways to keep your desires at bay. Check my blog to find it. Probably one of the older posts. Iâm rooting for ya and Iâm on your side. You always have a place in my heart.
sincerely,
a formerly bi kid.
The one who is cheated on has two options: stay AND forgive or leave AND forgive. forgiveness is mandatory. âForgive as God forgave youâ (Ephesians 4:32)
But donât worry, Justice WILL come for all parties (the husband, the wife, the side dude/chick. (Proverbs 6:26-35, 7:5. Read proverbs 5-7. Focuses solely on cheating and marriage. Good stuff, really.)
also, watch âamazing Love.â The actingâs okay, but the lesson is that we are just like Hoseaâs unfaithful wife. Weâre the unfaithful wife to God. But God will ALWAYS take us back, regardless of the r@pe, murder, cheating, lies, denies of Him, etc. if we repent.
Also, I have to inform you that you CANT divorce UNLESS you get cheated on, and you CANT get remarried after divorcing someone unless your divorced spouse dies. So make it count the first time. (Matt 5:28-32, Rom 7:1-3)
freeze all your credit cards and money. Make sure all assets that he or she has access to are revoked.
then, (I donât mean to force anything on anyone) but ask God to bestow His grace on you to forgive him or her, then ask God to bestow His grace on her to forgive him or herself.
Grieve. Take time to know that you may never get back together again. Distract yourself. Get to know the single you again. Find your strengths, weaknesses, and turn them into strengths. Pray to God to help you heal.
Iâm gonna tell you what I tell the others. Hear me out.
ultimately, (I donât mean to force anything on you,) but ask God to send the right friends in your life and to remove the wrong ones for you. Same goes for your future wife or husband. Just pray, and wait. keep God first, as Billy Graham said.
Look around you. People did things their way and now people commend cheating (emotionally and physically), open relationships, and open marriages.
Unfortunately these people (both non-Christians AND SOME Christians) encourage cheating (both emotional and physical) and open relationships and open marriages (more emotional cheating) are crossing the lines of {Lev 18-20, Ex 20:26, Num 5:18-31, Prov 5â7, Mal 2:13-15, Matt 5:28-32, Matt 7:12-23, Matt 25:11-12, Lk 13:27, Heb 13:4}
The real one that God has for you wonât cheat on you emotionally or physically and wonât want open relationships and open marriages. Itâll be magicalâ-your wife/husband will only want you and no one else. He/she will only want to be with you and know you while serving God with you. How cool is that?
After all, âThe Blessing of the Lord brings wealth. He adds no painful toil to it.â -Prov 10:22
And âHe who finds a wife finds what is good and receives favor from the Lord.â - prov 18:22
And âHouses and wealth are inherited from parents, but a prudent wife is from the Lord.â -Prov 19:14
(I donât mean to force anything on you,) but ask God to send the right friends in your life and to remove the wrong ones for you.Â
Same goes for your future wife or husband. Just pray, and wait. keep God first, as Billy Graham said.
these men and women are your brothers and sisters.
âThat man sitting next to you, thatâs your brother. That woman over there, lthatâs your sister.â -Stan Lee
Treat them as such. Besides, some of these people are taken. How would you like it if someone gave your girlfriend/wife or husband/boyfriend a certain look?
My friend, donât do this. These men and women are just trying to get by. They donât need anyone looking at them in a certain way. They just want to be loved, Not lusted after. Not looked at and used like a s3x toy and put away when not needed. They might be low on money, they could have been traumatized, they could be su!cidal, they could be selling their bodies unwillingly so they can get cash. Please. You donât know what theyre going through.Â
Cool storyâmany of these women are being tr@fficked and r@ped in YOU KNOW WHAT. these pictures arenât consensual. Imagine if this happened to your wife, girlfriend, sister, mother, cousin, friend, grandmother, aunt, etc. them begging for their life while doing terrible nasty things.
Ayo, i donât mean to force anything on anyone, but we have various types of evidence for biblical events, if anyone is interested. I also found ways to combat lust, if anyone is interested. (Iâm talking archaeological evidence, miracles caught live, arguments against evolution, divine revelation, science, cosmology, fulfilled prophecy, evidence for the Bible outside of the Bible, Godâs work in peopleâs lives, etc.)
This is coming from a conservative-ish, 19 year old brown dude.
For the Christians who go around gay bashing and telling our LGBT brothers and sisters that theyâre irredeemableâSHUT UP!
they just want to be loved and accepted as well. Yes, All sin is sin, but doesnât mean weâre without our own faults as well.
you think that people will come to the faith like this? Through fear? Youâre driving them away.
God loves all, but is He PLEASED with us all? Big difference. That applies to straight people, gay people, trans, theists and atheists alike
think of it this way: you love your friend, but your friend betrays you. You still love that friend, but youâre hurt.
He doesnât want to let anyone go, but you hateful Christians are hurting people. Are you even trying to get them in the God Squad?
There are three ways to respond to LGBT stuff:
1) keep on sinning! The Bible is wrong!
2) youâre irredeemable. God doesnât want you. Youâre going to hell. See you never, loser!
3) hey friend, I understand you feel this way. I love you and so does God. Youâre not irredeemable nor are you a devil. Let me show you a better way to live. Itâs one thing to be tempted, another to act.
Just because you have an urge to punch someone doesnât mean you did. Same thing. Just because you have these thoughts doesnât mean you automatically are gay, lesbian, bisexual, etc.
Which one are you supposed to pick? 1, 2, or 3?
This is coming from a conservative-ish, brown, formerly bi person (Iâm 19 M at the time I posted this. 2/26/2025)
I say this out of love, not out of hate.
youâre not a devil. Youâre a child of the Most High.Â
Now for the tough love. Again, I do not say this out of hate. Everyone (straight and LBGT alike) is my brother and sister and nothing less.
Donât listen to these people who say itâs okay to be part of the LGBT community. I donât want to come off rude, but I have to tell you bluntly and straight to the point. (If I come off derogatory, please know that wasnât my intention. So sorry if I do).Â
Simply ask and beg God to get this out of your system. If it doesnât go away, God can help you fight it for you (I have ways to combat lust. Hit me up)
itâs one thing to be tempted, another to act on it.
you get an urge to kill someone, but you donât do it. Does that make you a murderer? No! But resolve everything with love and peace.
âseek peace and pursue it.â -Psalm 34
Remember it was Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve nor Adriana and Eve. Romans 1:26-27, 1 Corinthians 6:9, 1 Timothy 1:10 even speak about this. Again, this is coming from a guy who WAS bi (kinda). itâs one thing to be tempted, another to act on it.
Many have said that God delivered them from homosexuality and they now have a wonderful family married to the wife (if a male) or husband (if a female) of their dreams.Â
Research shows that conservative, heterosexual women had a happy marriage.
Research shows that lesbian couples got divorced in later stages in life.
Research shows that TRUE Christian men (not the fake ahh ones) who go to church three times a month were reported to be more gentle and respectful to their woman.
If they are vibing with God like how I spoke, you can too, my friend. Hope this helps, my friend.Â

protect and look after everyone as if they were your children. Care for them as you would your own spouse or closest/only friend. Love and look at them as if you had one hour left to be with them.

After all, âThe Blessing of the Lord brings wealth. He adds no painful toil to it.â -Prov 10:22
And âHe who finds a wife finds what is good and receives favor from the Lord.â - prov 18:22
And âHouses and wealth are inherited from parents, but a prudent wife is from the Lord.â -Prov 19:14
Ayo, i donât mean to force anything on anyone, but we have various types of evidence for biblical events, if anyone is interested. I also found ways to combat lust, if anyone is interested. (Iâm talking archaeological evidence, miracles caught live, arguments against evolution, divine revelation, science, cosmology, fulfilled prophecy, evidence for the Bible outside of the Bible, Godâs work in peopleâs lives, etc.)
my favorite takeaway from church this morning -
Grasping the Depth of Christâs Love (Ephesians 3:18-19)
"...that you may have power, together with all the Lordâs holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ."
Main Point: Paulâs prayer highlights that the love of Christ surpasses knowledge, and yet we are called to comprehend its magnitude.
Application: We often limit our understanding of God's love by human measures. But Godâs love is boundless, and as we grow in faith, we begin to see how His love reaches into every area of our lives.
Illustration: Imagine trying to measure the ocean with a cup. Godâs love is as vast as the ocean, beyond our comprehension.
No matter how many trips you make or how many scoops you take, the ocean remains boundless, far beyond what you can capture or contain. Similarly, Godâs love is like the oceanâimmeasurable, infinite, and beyond our full comprehension.
Psalm 139 echoes the idea of Godâs immeasurable love.
How precious to me are your thoughts, O God!  How vast is the sum of them! If I would count them, they are more than the sand.
We cannot fully comprehend His vast love. Yet, we are invited into a close relationship with Him, trusting that even though His thoughts and ways are beyond us, He is always with us. Like exploring the depths of the ocean, we are called to dive into His limitless love, finding comfort in His constant presence.
Just as we are invited to explore the vastness of God's love and His countless thoughts toward us, Ephesians 3:19 reveals the ultimate purpose of this journeyâŚ
