“[Dear] little children, I am to be with you only a little longer. You will look for Me and, as I told the Jews so I will tell you now, you are not able to come where I am going. ” (Words of Jesus to his disciples in John 13: 33, Amplified)…
“I give a new commandment, that you should love one another; just as I have loved you, so you too should love one another.” (John 13:34).
Some don’t understand Lord. But, as You have loved me, I am to love – one another, I am to love.
I know that only because You loved me enough to never leave my side, even though in sin I was separated from Your light, Your eyes were on me all the time. I didn’t know You. But You knew me, even my name.
You allowed hard times because in this broken world we walk on thorny ground. But You didn’t ’cause them!’ – our own messed up world and our own thoughts and so much around – spell hard times and confusion – but You are not the author of confusion. Never – no never! And how do I know?
Because this world had me in a very deep pit. Too deep for me to ever get out of myself. And I was alone.
There was no fruit in me, no love. I was only bitterness, and it was eating me up – not anyone else.
“God!” “I need You!”
This was my cry. And it was true and complete and wholehearted…and He heard. But these are just words on a page to everyone who reads, but to me…these words are life. God was working in my mess.
I had a Bible that was given to me. And I began reading…and it began, even without my realizing it (at first) to work in me.
The Word of God transformed me. The words on the page were not the same as any other book. This might not mean anything to anyone else, but to me…this was the beginning of life, of health, of forgiveness, and love.
Jesus touched me. And I pray He does the same for you.
I pray I can love like He wants me to.
Today…”Jesus, I love You. Help me walk this thorny earth filled with …You.”
