September 30
Scripture focus: I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge--that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. Ephesians 3:16-18 (NIV)
During this month's of devotionals, we have barely scratched the surface of the material on boundaries. I hope you'll continue to explore materials on the subject, especially the works of Drs. Cloud and Townsend.
In the meantime, as we practice these principles in all our affairs, I pray that we will continue to be gentle with ourselves and each other.
God has us right where he wants us. Relax. Trust him. Take the next right step. Once we have asked God to take care and control of our lives, we can rest assured that his love for us is limitless. He will never leave us nor forsake us.
May the truths about God's character inspire us to please him, not out of fear, but from a deep wellspring of gratitude for a God who loves us even when we falter.
Recommended reading: Job 17-19

What a BEAUTIFUL devotional and scripture verse for the day. That was so uplifting and encouraging! I often have trouble remembering that God's character is completely different than man's and that he does love me even when I falter. This message is going to help me remember that today...and maybe tomorrow...and hopefully the next day! Thank you!
