Some things are beyond human comprehension or whatever human devices. Why did Christ died? What is the significance? How can we prove that God, much less His love, actually exists? I don't know the "deep" and scientific reasons behind them. All I know is God's principles transformed my life, His Spirit spoke through and to me at crucial timings in my life, and if I ever leave Him now I'll be making the greatest possible mistake in my life. God holds my life together. His existence explains most things I could not comprehend.

when i read the verses again and again, many thoughts went through my mind.They set me thinking how deep is my love for God, do i love God and people around me like Jesus did?
Does God rank first in your life?
"being rooted and established in love" then you are "able to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of chirst".this is easier to say than done.coz Man is imperfect, we cant reach standard of God's love.Despite this, we still can witness the great extent of God's love in our lives. For example, God forgives when u repent with sincerity, God is there to listen to our problems and show solutions through His Words.Let us work on this area of our lives. =)

It reminded of how God really really loves me and his fellow children on Earth
prayer point:
Wanna care for others like how he cares for me.
19and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.
God knows us true and through, every single hair on our head, every thoughts that we have and even every step that we're going to take, etc. However even with all this that He knows, He loves us. this impresses me the most. this shows His unconditional love that is constantly showering onto us!
Prayer points: increase my love just like how much God has loved me so.

God' love, the most amazing thing i can received but yet the most complicated thing that i can understand with my own human brain. But today i learnt abt how God's love can bring security into my life. God's love enable me to know that He has the best plan for me, He'll give good gifts to me, He'll be in control when things are bad. I don't need to be doing great things in the church, i don't need to be a leader, i don't need to be in the limelight for Him to love me. He loves me for who i am.
I am Yours, God!
Pray for time extension!! haha kidding! really pray for my brain to be able to stretch and "save" all the memorising that i've done so far for my papers!!

1) Reflection Point:
I read, re-read, and re-re-read this passage to grasp what it wants to say. The passage is talking about Fullness of God. In order to receive the fullness of God, there are a few steps we need to do. So, I came out with this "flowchart": Grasp the love of Christ>Receiving strength and power>Christ dwelling in your hearts>Fullness of God.
So, the first step of the "journey to receive fullness of God" starts with grasping the love of Christ. In verse 19, it mentioned that God's love surpasses knowledge. I think it is trying to say that by "knowing" God's love is not enough, we need to have "hands on" experience so that it can register to our hearts. Knowledge will goes to the brain, not the heart. We heard of this word "brainwash", but never heard of the word called "heartwash" right?. If we register God's love into our brain, it will fade away as knowledge will fade as we grow older. So let us "file","save as", "God's love" to the directory called "the heart".
2) Prayer Request:
To be always reminded of God's love so that I can spread the love to people around me.

reflection
Ephesians 3:16-19
I'm always amazed by God and the journey to fathom out how deep and wide is his love seems to me as a never ending quest. Truly encouraged by this love which was with me when I walk through the valleys of studies, friendships and the many problems big and small.Ultimately, I can only say what I've experienced is only a scratch of what he wants me to and come what may, the ultimate prayer of mine is definitely to know his love and trust that his love can and always will push me forward when I don't have the strength to do so.
prayer point:
Wanna care for others like how he cares for me.
