Experiencing Jesus Together Through Lentनमुना

Day 14:

Scripture:
“For the greatest love of all is a love that sacrifices all. And this great love is demonstrated when a person sacrifices his life for his friends,” John 15:13

A Call To: Reflect
I envision myself being wrapped in his love, like a fuzzy blanket on a cool winter night, when I read this verse. I envision Father God looking into my eyes with his fiery eyes saying, “My child, I love you so much that I sent my son to die in your place. I asked him to do this so that you will have eternal life with me in Heaven. I chose you before the beginning of time. I never had a plan B.”

Perfect love is also loving someone knowing that they may not love you back. God has never held back in his relationship with you or me. He’s not afraid of rejection or our imperfections. He’s not afraid of our doubts or our process. He has already chosen you and provided us with a redemptive plan---JESUS!

He is a perfect father with an everlasting love. Reflect on how sacrificial his love truly is for you.

Reflection:
Ask Jesus if there are any lies that you are believing about his perfect love for you? If you heard yes, ask him to show you what they are. Repent for believing the lies and then ask Jesus what the truth is.

Praise + Prayer:
Father God, we praise You and thank You for being a perfect Father to us. Thank You for sending Your Son, Jesus, to take our place and die a horrific death so that we can spend eternity with You. Thank You for choosing me first. Help me have a greater revelation of Your love for me. I want to encounter Your love in fresh ways. Soften my heart so that I may receive all that You have for me today.

I love You, Father. Amen.
