While writing a reply to what Bekah and Jamie were saying to my blog I remembered another part of the long conversation that I had with Amy Meeks. This is good. Talking to Amy stirred up so many good thoughts and feelings I didn't even know I was having! Don't you love when that happens?
I was telling Amy about reading Ephesians the other week, which was really good. I was standing in my bathroom thinking about how Aunt Lou said staying simple is getting down to the Gospel. So, my intention was to have this thought..."I'm going to read the Gospel, I think I'll start with Matthew." BUT instead of saying Matthew my "brain" said Ephesians. This was really good to me. The part that stood out to me was Chapter 3 verses 14-19. It says:
14 For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
15 Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,
16 That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;
17 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,
18 May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;
19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.
And in verse 18 & 19 it talks about comprehending the breadth, length, depth, height and to know the love of Christ which passes all knowledge that you might be filled will the fullness of God. I was telling Amy that I want to know that. A lot of times you "know" something, but that is just with your brain. But there is a time when you need to know things in your heart, not just your mind. It's almost like you just want to take what you know and feel it in your toes like Brittanie said she wanted to feel the holy Ghost. I want that with the love of Christ, because if we really know that, we will be filled with all the fullness of God! And I know that I cannot comprehend with my little human mind what the fullness of God is, but I can be sure it is good!
