As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Abide in my love.
John 15:9
Lord Jesus, this day I purposefully seek to find my rest and peace in the truth of Your love for me. That You would not only look in anticipation but also endure the humiliation of the cross for me sets Your love apart from any emotional attachment that anyone would have for me. And this You did BEFORE I ever committed my heart to You! And to think, it is only rivaled by the Father’s love for You! I want to say thank You for this, the greatest love of all. Thank You that You have modeled for me and all the world what it means to love sacrificially. Thank You for showing me that there is more to living than just existing. There is loving. Teach me today how to be satisfied in the core of my being with Your love for I know that people will abandon me and loved ones will let me down. But You will never leave nor forsake me. Help me to pitch my tent in the shadow of Your love, for there I will find all that my soul longs for. Help me to love others as You have loved me, for it is there that I find my greatest fulfillment. Help me to be that person this day and everyday to Your glory. Amen.
