"And I pray that Christ will be more and more at home in your hearts as you trust in Him. May your roots go down deep into the soil of God's marvelous love. 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 really is." Ephesians 3:17-18 (NLT)
I believe that the greatest tragedy in the western church today is that we know a great many truths about the Father, but so little of Him. He is not a God of the mind alone but first and foremost, of our hearts. He wants to be known by us. It's true that He is a mystery, but a mystery that He means to unravel before us. The apostle Paul said that he wanted to "know Christ, and the power of His resurrection." He also said that in Christ was all the fullness of the Father. He reveals Himself to us through His Son, Jesus Christ, and all of it comes about through the vessel that is His Holy Spirit. It's a journey, a walk, through the heart of the Father, and we are led on that journey by Christ. By the leading of His Holy Spirit, we really can come to know how wide, long, high and deep His love for us really is. This book is my humble attempt to point the way to that knowledge, that Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. It was, for me, truly a walk through the heart of the Father. I hope it will be so for you as you read it.
However you should read this book, as a series of essays, a devotional, or simply a book, may He bless you, and may you find in Him, all the fullness of His love towards you, and the life He created you for. His blessings be upon you.
