A Night Within My Love
My dear son,
I want you to hear again today that I have loved you first. Before offering love, enjoy the gladness of being loved. Let your heart feel at home in the love Jesus has shared with you.
I want that love to find expression in the way you care for one another. Joy can grow as you offer kindness and treat someone truthfully. May love become something you can give with your heart, beyond merely enduring an obligation.
Tell me about gratitude you want to express or a kind word you would like to offer. Your Father wants your joy to grow deeper. Finish today resting comfortably in the love you have received.
With all my love,
Your Father
John 15:9–12
WEB9Even as the Father has loved me, I also have loved you. Remain in my love.
10If you keep my commandments, you will remain in my love, even as I have kept my Father’s commandments and remain in his love.
11I have spoken these things to you, that my joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be made full.
12“This is my commandment, that you love one another, even as I have loved you.
A short reflection
Jesus tells his disciples to remain in his love, keep his commands, and love one another as he has loved them.
