Rooted in love

16 I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, 17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, 18 may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, 19 and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. - Ephesians 3:16-19

Isaiah 55

Isaiah 55:13 Instead of the thornbush will grow the juniper, and instead of briers the myrtle will grow.

I see the throns and briers as our old life, that the Lord redeemed. Instead of what could have been see what He has done.
