God’s Devotion

READ: Ephesians 3:14-21

That you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend ... the love of Christ which passes knowledge. — Ephesians 3:17-19


In 1826, the British author Thomas Carlyle married Jane Welsh, who also was an accomplished writer. She dedicated herself to his success and served him wholeheartedly.

Because of a stomach ailment and a nervous disorder, he had a rather ornery temperament. So she made special meals for him and tried to keep the house as quiet as possible so he could do his writing.

Thomas didn’t often recognize Jane’s helpful spirit nor did he spend much time with her. However, he wrote this about her to his mother: “I may say in my heart that she ... loves me with a devotedness which is a mystery to me how I have ever deserved. She ... looks with such soft cheerfulness into my gloomy countenance, that new hope passed into me every time I met her eye.”

We too have Someone who loves us with a devotedness that is a mystery how we as sinners ever deserved it! He is God the Father, “who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all” (Rom. 8:32). His love is wide, long, deep, and high and exceeds our knowledge (Eph. 3:18-19).

Understanding and appreciating God’s love is so vital that Paul prayed for the Ephesians to be “rooted and grounded” in it (v.17). May that be our experience as well. — Anne Cetas

I can always count on God, my heavenly Father, For He changes not; He always is the same; Yesterday, today, forever, He is faithful, And I know He loves me, praise His holy name. — Felten


There is no greater joy than to know God loves you.


Thank You Lord!
