The Love Lesson

I pray that you and all God’s people will understand what is called wide or long or high or deep. I want you to know all about Christ’s love, although it is too wonderful to be measured. Then your lives will be filled with all that God is.

Ephesians 3:18–19 (CEV)

We can find out what lives in the deepest oceans or how hot Mars is or how to get people to quit sneezing.

We can study how fast hummingbird wings move or why strawberries are red or how to get a whole bunch of kids giggling.

There are so many things we can learn about in this world! What would you like to know about?

There’s another thing we can study every day of our lives and never totally understand—God’s love! Today’s Bible verse describes it as so wide, so long, so high, and so deep that we will never get to the bottom of it! But we should keep trying to know more.

We can ask God about his love when we pray. We read about his love in the Bible. We can see it in all the wonderful gifts he gives us every day. We can talk with people about it, especially adults who can teach us about it, like a Sunday School teacher or Pastor. Learning about God’s love for you will help you know him more and love him more!

GOD'S WONDERFUL WORLD

The Grand Canyon in Arizona is one mile deep. So, if you are standing on the top edge and look down at the river, it is a mile down! (But still not as deep as God’s love!)
