40 Days...Day 36

Good Evening Church,
Today is day 36 on our 40 day journey to bring ourselves closer to God. Today’s text is found in John 15:9-17

John 15:9-17
9"Just as the Father has loved Me, I have also loved you; abide in My love. 10"If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love; just as I have kept My Father's commandments and abide in His love. 11"These things I have spoken to you so that My joy may be in you, and that your joy may be made full. 12"This is My commandment, that you love one another, just as I have loved you. 13"Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends. 14"You are My friends if you do what I command you. 15"No longer do I call you slaves, for the slave does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I have heard from My Father I have made known to you. 16"You did not choose Me but I chose you, and appointed you that you would go and bear fruit, and that your fruit would remain, so that whatever you ask of the Father in My name He may give to you. 17"This I command you, that you love one another.

Love one another, that is such a simple thing to do, and yet it is so very hard. The single most important thing we can do to show love is to serve one another. By taking the focus off ourselves we can shift that focus to God where it belongs.

God bless you today as you are praying.
