love that surpasses knowledge

This morning the Lord impressed upon my heart to read 2 prayers Paul prayed...both prayers about "love that surpasses knowledge". What beautiful words he uses......

Philippians 1:9-11

"And this is my prayer, that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight , so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless until the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ ---to the glory of God"

and

Ephesians 3:16-19

I pray that out of His glorious riches He may strengthen you with power through His Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints , to grasp how wide and
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"




Complete Overflowing Fullness!
Im going to be parked on these 2 passages for awhile," God you are so awesome!" you write with such beauty!

Welcome!

Welcome!
I finally did it. This blog has been on my heart for some time. Actually, it was a prompting from God. A place we can share Jesus and talk of glimpses of His Presence. A place to strengthen each other along the journey.

As I spend time each morning in His word, I gather manna for the days journey. Please feel free to share your manna you've gathered, through a devotion that has touched your heart.

Currently, God has me in the "school of love", learning I am loved.
His love is deep and wide.....perfect love drives out fear. Jesus is "Perfect Love". His Presence enfolds you in "perfect love".

I have been at his feet also learning how to stay engulfed in His Presence.
As, I spend time "soaking" in His Presence the trials become stepping stones to gain intimancy with Him. Through communing with Him my burdens are transferred to His strong shoulders.
By gazing at Him, I gain perspective. To see others through His eyes, thats perspective.
I find I need solitary time with Him, and my need to make that my priority, and my deepest joy.

Enjoy the day, this is the day the Lord has made, Rejoice!
