Read Ephesians 3:14-19.
In these verses, Paul wants the believers to be strengthened in their inner self by the Holy Spirit. To me, this scripture is almost a prayer that the people of Ephesus will secure a deep relationship with God. He desires that Christ may live in their hearts through faith. Just as a tree’s roots are essential for its nourishment and growth, our faith and love are key to our spiritual lives. The deeper a tree’s roots go, the stronger it gets to withstand the elements. It is the same with our faith. Living in Christ’s love, we are strengthened and can withstand life’s challenges.
Our spiritual roots must reach deeply into God’s love and the Holy Spirit to feed our souls and grow our faith. With Christ dwelling in us, we are transformed and can show our strong faith no matter what is happening in our lives. It is impossible to know the vastness of God’s love for us, but we need to feel confident that he loves us immensely. Take time to think about how rooted and grounded you are in God’s love. Do you feel His presence in your heart?
