S – I pray that he may grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with power in your inner being through his Spirit, ¹⁷ and that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. I pray that you, being rooted and firmly established in love, ¹⁸ may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the length and width, height and depth of God’s love, ¹⁹ and to know Christ’s love that surpasses knowledge, so that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. 

Ephesians  3:16–19 CSB

O – Commentary:

 Old Testament accounts associated the Spirit especially with prophetic endowment but also with purity, strength and prowess or ability to fulfill whatever God calls one to do; the Old Testament sometimes also presents internalizing the Bible as a way to overcome sin (e.g., Ps 119:11). Israelite piety also recognized God as the source of strength…

3:18–19. Many take “breadth and length and height and depth” to describe how all creation is filled with God’s glory or as a description of the immeasurable vastness of his love.

A – If we truly could comprehend the totality and size of God’s love for us, there would be nothing but worship and surrender towards him.  It is a massive love that has relationship with us intimately, empowers us to fulfill his plans and purposes and sacrificed Jesus so we could have the relationship.

R – Heavenly Father, we worship and surrender to you alone.  Thank you for a love for us that we cannot even grasp its size or application.  Give us hearts to reciprocate back to you the love you demonstrate for us.
