Here’s God’s valentine note
To you, His beloved—
A blessing from Paul’s pen:
“According to the riches of his glory
May he may grant you to be strengthened
with power through his Spirit
In your inner being,
So that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—
That you, being rooted and grounded in love,
May have strength to comprehend
With all the saints what is
The breadth
And length
And height
And depth
And to know the love of Christ
That surpasses knowledge,
That you may be filled
With all the fullness of God”
Ephesians 3:16–19 (ESV).
I bless you to be embraced
By that sort of
Unknowable love
That can, in Christ,
Be known.
