Dear Bros in Christ,

Proverbs 27:17 As iron sharpens iron, So a man sharpens the countenance of his friend.
Brothers in Christ, this monthly devotional is sent and meant to be an encouragement to all and to build up and edify in
the Lord Jesus Christ. Oikodome means "Builder". The Lord has put this on my heart to send out a monthly Iron Man
Oikodome {oy-kod-om-ay'} to build up and encourage the men who love and follow Jesus Christ in their walk with Him.

Proverbs 27:17 As iron sharpens iron, So a man sharpens the countenance of his friend.

Hebrews 3:13 "But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called Today, so that none of you may be hardened by
sin's deceitfulness."

“IMMEASURABLE LOVE”

Ephesians 3:17-19 that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 may
be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the Width and Length and Depth and Height-- 19 to know the love of
Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

W x L x D x H= Undeserved Grace, Unbelievable Mercy, Endless deep nurturing Love, Longsuffering that can only come
from a True Father, a True Friend willing to lay down His life for His beloved and treasured children, Uncountable
Forgiveness, Eternal life a width and length and depth and height that cannot be measured. Do the math bro, even Einstein
couldn’t find the total sum of our Fathers love there is more love than we can compute, no human can fully count the
width and length and depth and height of His love for us!!
But let us look at this immeasurable, incalculable, inestimable, fathomless, infinite & never ending love that He has for us.
We can see the width of His love by the fact that Jesus is always ready to receive us into His love. Even when He went to
His death on the cross we could see the width of His arms and how His hands were open for us in a position to receive us
even in His death and even today bro they are open to receive us. In His suffering He was making Himself available to us
and for us and even today when we grieve Him He would still suffer for us even in our worst sinful condition. There is a
measurement of the width of His love for us by going to the cross on our behalf. The length of how long He loves us, His
longsuffering towards us, even when we fall away He never moves away, He is steadfast in His love for us. His word says
“Draw near me and I will draw near you”. The depth of His love which says He was willing to go to the pit hell for us if
we made our bed there, behold You are there. He was willing to go to the depth of death not by our measure but His.
Sacrifice His absolute perfection, for us, by allowing Himself to be separated from the Father for us on account of us…
He loves us to the height of heaven and eternity that is His height to which He loves us… He rose up from death to the
heights of heaven to claim us and to claim victory for us that is how much He loves us. How can we ever get to the end of
His love for us? His love for us goes for eternity. His love is the only answer to all our problems no matter where we find
ourselves today and He is the only One who can answer us and deliver us in time of need. He is the only One who can
forgive our sins and cleanse us from our sins because He loves us forever with a true love that cannot be measured… As
Christ dwells in our hearts through faith, may we be filled with all the fullness that God has for us as His children being
rooted having all of our needs supplied through His love for us and grounded in the foundation we have in our Lord and
Savior Christ Jesus.

In His love,
Daniel Wright
