...may have the strength to comprehend...

"...being rooted & grounded in love, may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth..." Ephesians 3:17b-18 I find it interesting that the ESV chose "strength" to comprehend. Why not use "be able"? How great is God's love that we need strength to comprehend it? Just what is the breadth, length, height and depth of God's love, the love in which we are to be rooted and grounded? This is agape love-unconditional-that can only be from God Who is love. So we are to be rooted and grounded in God. Yes, we need strength to see all the depth of His sacrifice, the length of everlasting eternity of His love, the height and depth of His endless grace and mercy. It's mind-boggling! We put limits on things. We box in our love with conditions, but God has no limits and no conditions to His love or to Himself. God is eternal, all powerful, all-sufficient, all knowing and His love is everlasting. Yes, oh Lord, give us the strength to comprehend the vastness of this glorious love!
