COME TO JESUS - THURSDAY

Verse

23 Jesus replied, ‘Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them. 24 Anyone who does not love me will not obey my teaching. These words you hear are not my own; they belong to the Father who sent me.

25 ‘All this I have spoken while still with you. 26 But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you. 27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.

John 14:23-27 [New International Version – UK]

Prayer:

Father, Thank you for loving me and for your desire to make your home with me. Help me to continually respond to your love by loving others and following your path for my life. Thank you for the unfolding your plan for me as a progression of small steps of obedience. Thank you for the indwelling Holy Spirit who brings your teachings to my remembrance to me to guide me and to bring the assurance of your unconditional love so that I do not need to be afraid. Amen.
