Words for these intense feelings

Can I possible have words to describe what I feel in the presence of Christ?

In Paul’s letter to the Ephesians he says “I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the HOPE to which He has called you, the riches of His glorious inheritance in His people, and HIS INCOMPARABLY GREAT POWER FOR US WHO BELIEVE. THAT POWER IS THE SAME AS THE MIGHTY STRENGTH HE EXERTED WHEN HE RAISED CHRIST FROM THE DEAD and seated Him at the right hand in the heavenly realms.” Get ready here comes the kicker…..

Paul continues in 3: 16-21 “And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord's people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us”.

I can tell you know how it feels. I feel that unparalleled power, the same power that GOD exerted to raise His son from the dead HEALS me too. I am experiencing how wide, long, high and deep is the love of Christ; I am filled beyond all measure. Eureka! It is not that I didn’t already know these things but my feelings have words - I have been validated! The love of my God was given to me and then confirmed in God’s word.


It is like the breath of Jesus is right here in this room.”
