Rooted and Grounded in Love

Rooted and grounded in love

Ephesians 3:17

What does it mean to be rooted in love? It means that our actions are motivated by love. Our thoughts are based on love. Our spirit dwells in love. Our relationships are characterized by love. It means that when someone mistreats us our response is love. When someone sins, we relate to them in a loving, redemptive way. When someone offends us, we forgive and love them anyway. Our life is ruled by the love of God. Why, because He loved us while we were sinners and rescued us from sin so that we could love and live for Him. When we bask in that love of God, we will naturally love those around us.

Lord, thank You for Your unmerited love. Help me to be rooted in love so that I can bless You and those around me.
