I pray that Christ will be more and more at home in your hearts, living within you as you trust in Him. May your roots go down deep into the soil of God’s marvelous hesed love; (Note 2) and, as all God’s children should, may you be able to feel and understand how long, how wide, how deep, and how high His love really is; and to experience this love for yourselves, though it is so great that you will never see the end of it or fully know or understand it. Ephesians 3:17-19, Adapted TLB

“Could we with ink the ocean fill and were the skies of parchment made; were every stalk on earth a quill and every man a scribe by trade; to write the love of God above would drain the ocean dry; nor could the scroll contain the whole, though stretched from sky to sky.” (Note 3)

Note 1: The Christian Mission Statement is “to know God through humble fellowship with Him in Christ, to be transformed by His hesed love, and to reveal His glory to the world by making disciples and proclaiming the gospel.”

Note 2: Hesed (Hebrew) is one of the Bible’s richest and most powerful words. Often described as untranslatable, no single English (or Greek) term fully conveys its depth and magnitude. It is variously translated as lovingkindness, mercy, unfailing love, steadfast love, or faithful love. Wherever these terms appear in translations, they point to God’s hesed.
At its core, hesed is an extravagant, unconditional love—a love that results in a sovereign God loving without limit those who have no merit. It expresses God’s covenantal fidelity through compassion, mercy, and steadfast love, driven by free will rather than obligation. Hesed is a defining attribute of God, who binds Himself to His people and remains faithful even when they are unfaithful. It is seen in His willingness to forgive sin and to take upon Himself the rebellion and sin of His people.

Note 3: Adapted from the hymn The Love Of God, by Frederick Lehman (1868 – 1953). And, no, this verse did not come from a wall of a German insane asylum.
