“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.”
– Ephesians 3:17-18, NIV
This last Sunday I was sitting in church and I was thinking about teaching. When I finally have my own classroom, I think that I will call it not a classroom, but a “WonderRoom.” Why? When students are in my class I want them to wonder about things, to question things (even me… sometimes), to have a nature of curiousity. Those of us who wonder about things have the most potential for God because we are as children… curious.
Imagine if I walked through each day not testing the depth of Christ’s love, but trusting that it has a depth to which I have not been. He loves me more than I know, and as I live that out, I will trust Him more and more. Something else just hit me, it is through me that the depth of His love is shown to others. That’s is AWESOME.
Today I wonder how will I manifest the love of Christ to those that I come in contact with.
“Could we with ink the ocean fill, And were the skies of parchment made,
Were every stalk on earth a quill, And every man a scribe by trade,
To write the love of God above Would drain the ocean dry; Nor could the scroll
contain the whole, Tho stretched from sky to sky.
O love of God how rich and pure! how measureless and strong!
It shall forever more endure. The saint’s and angels song!”
