Ephesians 3:19
And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fullness of God.
Boiling over love is intemperate, extreme passion. Freezing love is cold and frigid. But Christ’s love passes all knowledge that we as human beings couldn’t possibly understand. His love knows no boundaries. It is measureless.
I regulate my love according to how I feel, which is human but unacceptable as a Christian. But Christ loves me regardless and this love doesn’t compromise. which comes through salvation’s grace.
And that boiling point love is no better because it runs others away from me in that it is overbearing, domineering and manipulative. Such love is unacceptable with people and with God. What must I pray?
I must pray for help from the Lord. The help that will deliver isn’t coming from others, or from books, or from Eastern meditative chants. My soul was shaped and formed by God, and I’ve been created in His image, after His likeness. He alone has the deliverance I need so that I might become inundated with the love of Christ.
I need to be filled to capacity with all the fullness of God, and this comes through sincere repentance of ungodly habits and passionate confession of sins. It’s my time to exchange unprofitable love for that divine love which forgives and has mercy and brings inner peace.
Help me, Lord, even as I meditate on my faults and seek after the love You offer. Come now and rescue me, Amen.
