On today’s podcast, Stasi shares the amazing depth of God’s love for each of us individually. As the great Romancer of our hearts, he uniquely pursues us as his beloved. Did you know that we can romance his heart as well? What does that look like? Friends, he loved us first, and we romance him as we love him back. Let’s unpack that a little together and sink more deeply into his extravagant love—and then, let’s romance his heart with our loving gaze. Stasi ends the podcast by leading us through an encounter with Jesus, a space to focus on resting in His embrace and experiencing His unfathomable love.

VERSES:
Ephesians 3:16-19 (NLT) — I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit. Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God’s love and keep you strong. 18 And may you have the power to understand, as all God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is. May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God.

Quote: Timothy Keller: “The only person who dares wake up a king at 3:00 AM for a glass of water is a child. We have that kind of access.”
Poem: Indwelt by A.S. Wilson
Not merely in the words you say,
Not only in your deeds confessed,
But in the most unconscious way
Is Christ expressed.
Is it a beatific smile,
A holy light upon your brow;
Oh no, I felt His Presence while
You laughed just now.
For me ‘twas not the truth you taught
To you so clear, to me still dim
But when you came to me you brought
A sense of Him.
And from your eyes He beckons me,
And from your heart His love is shed,
Til I lose sight of you and see
The Christ instead.
