Day Twenty-Nine: that she would know the depth of God’s love for her
…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
Paul’s prayer for the Ephesians is essentially that they would know how much God loves them and that He is not going anywhere. Let us pray today this same thing for our wives. It is unfathomable how much the Lord loves her. It is, as John said, an “other-worldly love” (1 John 3:1). And yet God inspires Paul to pray that we would comprehend that which is incomprehensible.
Father, you love my wife more deeply than I do. Lord, I am not even sure of the depth of my own love for her, but I am sure that it has a bottom. Your love does not. I pray for my wife today that you would help her to see and to know how much you love her. May she know that you are not going anywhere, that you are here to stay, and that your love cannot be exhausted. Overwhelm her with your love. Amen.
