Week 1: Day 3


Today’s Scripture:     John 15: 9 “As the Father loved me, I too have loved you. Remain in my love.”

Spiritual Exercise:     Today we are going to try some ‘remaining’ or ‘abiding’ - as some other translations have this passage. Jesus says that to life the life which is blessed by God we are to ‘remain/abide’ in him and his love. God the Father loves us, Jesus his Son loves us – remain in his love. Stay in his love.

Begin today be thanking God for his love. Pray a prayer like this: “Dear Father in heaven, thank you that you love me, I want to live in your love today. Send your Holy Spirit upon me today to show me how to live in this way of love. In Jesus name I pray. Amen”

Now go through today with this simple prayer in your heart and on your lips, “I want to remain in your love”. Before you get into your car; before you pick up your phone to answer or make a call; before you have step into a store, pray this prayer!
