"This is My commandment,
that you love one another as I have loved you. No one has greater love than
this, to lay down one's life for one's friends. You are My friends if you do
what I command you. I do not call you servants any longer, because the servant
does not know what the master is doing; but I have called you friends, because I
have made known to you everything that I have heard from My Father" (John
15:12-15).
By Your Word, according to
Your heart and Your will for me, I am a friend of God. And I have no friend like
You. You laid down Your life for me. Then You invited me to lay down my life for
You - to entrust my will to Your will, to seek Your ways as my ways, to desire
Your plan as Your best for my life. And Your ways and Your plan are grounded in
Your commandment to "love one another" as I learn to fully embrace Your love for
me.
Help me keep accepting Your
invitation and keep living out this relationship of friendship with You
throughout the moments of my day. By the power of Your grace, help me embrace
that this is Your heart and Your will for my life today and every day. Every day
will look different, just like every relationship You've strategically
positioned or sovereignly allowed in my life to teach me to love You, love them,
and learn to love myself. But I'll never have to figure it out on my own,
because I'll always have my Best Friend near at my side and here in my heart. In
Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
Be
encouraged today! In the Love of Jesus, Tommy Hays
Friends, I pray
for you that you will love in the power of God's grace today, with your Best
Friend Jesus by your side and in your heart. Please pray the same for me, my
friend. God bless you!
