- John 15:9-11
Before time began, from all eternity, there flowed a life and love in the Trinity - between Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
When the Word became flesh, that life and love flowed in a human being - Jesus Christ.
Jesus has poured that life and love upon me.
Imagine God's own love flowing within you. Jesus could not have been clearer about this:
- "Just as the living Father sent me and I have life because of the Father, so also the one who feeds on me will have life because of me." (John 6:57)
- "I am the vine, you are the branches." (John 15:5)
The First Letter of John is clear too: "Beloved, let us love one another, because love is of God." (4:7) Because we have this life and love flowing within us, we can direct it toward others.
Today, ever day. We can silently bless others with God's own love. Now that's a whole different way of getting through a day. Try it.
