Today’s Verse:
“If you obey my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have obeyed my Father's commands and remain in his love.”- John 15:10
Prayer for Today :
Heavenly Father,
Jesus illustrated his statements to the disciples about the interrelationship of love and obedience by comparing their love for him and obedience to his commands to his love for the Father and his obedience to the Father’s commands. i.e. We should love each other as ourselves UNCONDITIONALLY, because of obedience to You, our Heavenly Father's command.
But love is so hard! In the world nowadays, we always need to protect ourselves from being too friendly to people... Father, help us to learn from Christ, help us to put down our pride and be humble. If Jesus' can wash disciples' feet out of love, we should be able to put down our emotional condition and just offer our love to the needy.
Father, sometimes, we have a weak head full of doubts. Give us a willing mind to seek for needies in the society and offer them love. Help us not to sin our neighbours, in thought, in word and in deed. Show us the deceitfulness and wickedness of people and teach us how to humble ourselves and help them to heal.
In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
