Ephesians 3:14-19 For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;
That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith;

That ye, being rooted and grounded in love, May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with
all the fulness of God.

DAY 27God’s Love becomes a constraining factor among us.

After the Love of God is allowed to do its work among us, we all feel differently about one another. What we have thought was wrong in the other person suddenly doesn’t matter—at least as far as our Love for them is concerned.
  • I John 4:19,20We Love Him, because He first Loved us. If a man say, I Love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that Loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he Love God Whom he hath not seen? NIrVWe Love because He Loved us first. Anyone who says he Loves God but in fact hates his brother or sister is a liar. He doesn’t Love his brother or sister, whom he has seen. So he can’t Love God, whom he has not seen.
  • II Corinthians 5: 14,15For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if One died for all, then were all dead: and that He died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto Him which died for them, and rose again. NIrVChrist’s love controls us. We are sure that one Person died for everyone. And so everyone died. Christ died for everyone. He died so that those who live should not live for themselves anymore. They should live for Christ. He died for them and was raised again.

DEAR LORD, I am asking for a miracle. Here are some people in whom, it is evident, there is a lack of Love. In fact there is open hostility among them. Please show the power of Your Kingdom in them as I hold them before You. I receive the authority You have given us in Christ, and loose them.

We can live without fear—Psalm 56:3
