John 13: 34, 35 “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”
Dear God,
I am so grateful, that at this time upon earth, that I have the freedom to learn about You, love You and publicly become a Christian.
I am not certain that I love others enough? Do I allow the tasks of life to keep me from showing Your love to others enough; through me? Today I am even uncertain that I pray for others enough? But I do know that You delight to hear all my prayers, including the ones for forgiveness, and that as I place myself in Your care, and ask to be Your disciple again today, You will not turn a genuine request away. With thankfulness I know, that not only will my heart and mind be changed to be more righteous, I will also be directed on how, as well as be more able to manifest Your love to others, being equipped by the Holy Spirit to do so.
It is so beneficial to reflect that it is only You, God, who has love at the centre of Your Government. From my reading of scripture I understand, that heaven is founded upon love. Which is why Your Son, Jesus came down to earth to rescue fallen mankind, because He loved His Father supremely, as well as the now sinful created people on earth. It was out of boundless love from heaven, that we could not be left without a choice to be rescued from sin and death, and in so doing choose eternal life in heaven. Where You, the Father and Your Son, as the source of love, life and light dwell.
For me I desire to be cleansed of sin, and live in the pure, bright vibrant atmosphere of heaven, because You both will be there!
I am so heart glad by the knowledge, that tody I can be gifted by the Holy Spirit, with love, life and light through Jesus. This applies for as long as I accept Jesus and walk in obedience His way, manifesting my Spirit given gifts to others and so bring them Your love and joy.
I give You praises again, because You love us (me) in all circumstances, seeking for us to be Your true children, full of love for You and all others. In my mind, I say why would I (we) refuse?
Amen
