There is no force in the universe more powerful than God's love for us. We humans experience limitations of all kinds. We usually are able to love ... up to a point. Human love can be weakened by circumstances, by disappointments, by betrayal. God's love never grows weak. He will never abandon us.
Now we see only part of the story: as through a dim mirror, I Corinthians 13:12 tells us. But someday we will see Christ face-to-face. Then we will know fully, just as we are fully known.
Then we will see exactly how wide and long and high and deep is Christ's love for us. Someday we will have unlimited access to His Presence: an eternal ecstasy. For now, His loving presence is sufficient to get us through our day.
Thoughtfully read and meditate on 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."
