You may have heard the Bible called God’s love letter to us because that is what it is. The Bible is the story of God chasing after the hearts of a people He desperately loves: you and me. At Beloved Women, we are on a mission to share with women God loves them because we truly believe in the transforming power of God‘s love. The way that we know that love however, is through the Word of God. It is His Word in the Bible that proclaims to us that we are in fact undoubtedly loved. We cannot separate God‘s love from His truth and the truth that we find in the Bible is that we are loved. So it is important for us to read and study the Bible so that we can know how loved we are. In Ephesians 3, we find a beautiful prayer from the Apostle Paul on the importance for believers to know God’s love. His prayer for his fellow believers to be strengthened:
“So that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.” (Ephesians 3:17-19 ESV)
How do we comprehend God’s love as Paul prays we are strengthened to do? We read His love letter to us that is the Bible. Today, I invite you to receive God’s unconditional and abundant love as you read and meditate on His Word.
Prayer: Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for speaking to me through Your Word. Help me to receive and experience Your amazing love by spending quality time with You daily through prayer and reading the Bible. In Jesus Christ’s Name, I pray, Amen.
