My child,
As for you, you were spiritually dead, dead in your sins, in which you used to live when you were doing what you felt like doing, when you felt like doing it. You drifted along in the stream of this world’s ideas for living. But, in order to satisfy the great, wonderful and intense love with which I love you, I made you alive with Christ.
I raised you and seated you in Him, at my right hand…the right hand of God, Himself. And I would say to you now that I did that: so that I can always point to you as an example of the incomparable, limitless, surpassing riches of My grace; the incredible wealth of My favor and kindness toward you.
A relationship with you was all My idea, and all My work. It was nothing you could or did achieve. It is not a reward for the good things you have done. It was My gift from start to finish to you!
Because of our relationship may you be strengthened, may you have mighty inner strength through My Spirit living in you. May Christ settle down and make His permanent home in your heart through faith.
I desire that you are rooted…rooted deeply…and established…firmly fixed in My love. And that you will have the power, together with all Christians, to know and grasp how wide and long and high and deep is that love. May you really come to know this love that surpasses knowledge. It is so far beyond your comprehension. May My infinite love fill all your inner being with Me!
Signed,
God
