Mar.08.01: Light For The Day - "Saturated In His Love" -- 1 John 4:19 (RSV) "We love, because He first loved us." ------------------------- Although I am dust and ashes, LORD, I am tied to you  by bonds of love. Therefore I feel I can speak freely to  You. Before I came to know You, I was nothing.  I did not know the meaning of life, and I had no  understanding of myself. I have no doubt that you had  a purpose in causing me to be born; yet You had no  need of me, and on my own I was of no use to You. But then you decided that I should hear the words of  Your Son, Jesus Christ. And that as I heard His words,  You enabled His love to penetrate my heart. Now I am  completely saturated in His love and faith, and there is  no remedy. Now, LORD, I cannot change my attitude  to my faith; I can only die for it. -- Hilary Of Poitiers ------------------------- -- Ephesians 3:14-19 (NLT): "When I think of the wisdom and scope of God’s plan,  I fall to my knees and pray to the Father,  15 the Creator of everything in heaven and on earth.  16 I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he  will give you mighty inner strength through his Holy Spirit.  17 And I pray that Christ will be more and more at home  in your hearts as you trust in him. May your roots go  down deep into the soil of God’s marvelous love.  18 And may you have the power to understand, as all  God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high,  and how deep his love really is.  19 May you experience the love of Christ, though it is  so great you will never fully understand it. Then you will  be filled with the fullness of life and power that comes  from God.
