How can you say you love if your love doesn’t grow? If your love doesn’t progress? If your love remains stuck in a fleeting emotion or personal interest, is it really the love of Christ? The apostle Paul said: “And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight” (Philippians 1:9). This means that authentic love is cultivated, developed, transformed through revelation. The love of God is not born from a simple feeling. It is born in the depth of a revelation. Do you want to love like Christ loved? Do you want to know a love that never weakens, a love that does not retreat in the face of contradiction? Then it’s time to enter into the true dimensions of His love! The love of Christ is not limited. It has height, depth, width, and length. And when your love enters these four dimensions, you will begin to manifest Christ.
True love does not come from us. It is poured into our hearts by the Holy Spirit. It is a divine work, a supernatural work, supernatural! You cannot love like Jesus loved by simple willpower. Heaven’s breath must blow upon us, the wind of the Holy Spirit must come and fill our hearts, awaken our innermost being and make the living water of divine love spring forth. We need a new wind. A wind from heaven. We yearn, we pray, we cry out: Breathe, Spirit of God! Birth in us the love of Christ!
Wide love is inclusive. It does not pick and choose. It does not sort. It loves! It looks at the brother sitting next to you and says: God loves him. It looks at the weak, the small, the rejected, the misunderstood and says: they are worthy of the love of God. The width of love is this ability to love like God loves, without barriers, without distinction.
I discovered this dimension when God corrected me in my own prayer. I was praying during a crusade for God to heal all the sick. I had seen miracles. The blind had received sight. The paralyzed had walked. But some remained unhealed, and my heart was broken. I cried: Lord, have compassion! But then came heaven’s answer: “You’re praying wrongly.” I was shocked. “You think you have more compassion than I do? If you saw people as I see them, your prayer would be different. I have compassion for all. You, you sort. I died for all, even the sorcerer. You judge in your heart. But My blood was shed for all.”
Brothers and sisters, we must open wide our arms. Open them wide enough to include those we would have preferred to reject. The prostitutes, the sorcerers, the deeply sinful. Because it’s for them that Christ stood in line. Yes, Jesus stood in line! Do you remember that story? That young man in South Africa who went to visit a woman completely paralyzed. She could do nothing. Nothing! Not speak, not move, not cook, not even function. And this man, without knowing her, came and said: “I want to marry you.” People laughed. They despised him. But he married her. She even became pregnant in her paralysis. What love! What mystery! This is exactly what Jesus did. We were paralyzed, spiritually dead. And He said, “I want to marry you.”
And that professional prostitute, so famous she had an office to receive her clients. Everyone wanted their share of impurity, of flesh, of vice. And suddenly, a man stands in line like all the others. But when he enters, he doesn’t desire her body. He says: “I want to marry you.” And he returns. Again. And again. Until she accepts. This is how Jesus loved us. You and me, we were in our spiritual prostitution, and He waited, He insisted, He said: “I love you.”
Long love is the love of time. It is the love of patience. It is the love that stays, even when nothing changes. Even when the person doesn’t improve. God still loves you. God looks at you just as He always has. Even when you fall. Even when you betrayed Him. He says: “My love for you doesn’t change.”
The apostle Paul says in Ephesians 3 that we must be rooted in love to understand its dimensions. The one who is rooted understands the length. He perseveres. He prays for his husband again. He prays for his wife again. He does not give up on the church, he does not leave the faith. Long love… is Jesus on the cross.
Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.
It’s Jesus coming back to you again despite all your failures. And He comes back, and He says once more: “I love you.”
But this love does not come from us. It comes from the Spirit. That’s why you must renounce your own love. Your love is short. It stops quickly. It’s emotional. If you’re not called, you stop loving. If you’re not answered, you stop serving. But the love of Christ in us depends on nothing. It is covenant love, a love tied to a decision. Not to a feeling. You don’t feel to love. You choose to love. It’s a decision.
This is the love that seeks. Deep love is love that searches the heart of God. It wants to know everything about Him. It is interested in all that touches Him. You begin to love what He loves. You contemplate His works. You admire His details. He takes you to see a flower. An animal. A mountain. And in every one of His gestures, you hear His voice: “I created you to see this. I made it so you could see who I am.”
Deep love is the one that surpasses usefulness. You no longer serve God for what He will do for you. You serve Him because you love Him. Even if He doesn’t respond, you come to His feet. Even without a miracle, you stay there. Even in your pain, you say like Job:
I know that my Redeemer lives.
You no longer need proof. You have the relationship. You have intimacy.
Height is the love that lifts. Not just that consoles. Not just that brings back. It is the love that wants to see the other rise. Become a king. Rule. Reign with Christ. God didn’t just take us out of sin. He raised us with Christ and seated us with Him in heavenly places.
Do you want to know if your love is high? Ask yourself if you are happy to see others prosper. To see others succeed, shine, flourish. Or are you like Cain… who loves, but cannot stand that Abel has something better? High love is the love of Jesus. He died so that you might live. But not just to live. He wants you to be like Him.
When your love enters these four dimensions — width, length, depth, height — then you become a perfect channel for Christ to manifest to the world. And that’s where Paul concludes:
So that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. (Ephesians 3:19)
It is possible to be filled with all the fullness of God! But only if your love grows, progresses, increases in these four dimensions.
Lord Jesus, I no longer want to love You with my own strength. I renounce my short, superficial, self-serving love. Today I choose to love You according to Your Spirit. May Your love be rooted in me. Teach me to love like You. Give me the width to love everyone. Give me the length to never give up. Give me the depth to search Your intimacy. Give me the height to lift others up. I want to become Your bride. I want to reflect Your love. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
🙏 If you’ve never given your life to the Lord, say this prayer:
Lord Jesus, I acknowledge that I have sinned. I don’t deserve Your love, but You loved me. Today I receive Your love. Purify my heart. Change my life. Be my Lord and my Savior. I want to live for You. Amen.
