These words of Jesus to his disciples on the night of his betrayal are confronting. Have you ever heard him say these words to you. I hear them now. As I read through the '10 minute prayer' this morning I felt a very real sense of the Holy Spirit gaze at my soul, reminding me of the enormity of the responsibility he has bestowed on the Church.
This burden is one that I carry with joy and with reverence, often unworthily and yet I feel the smile of God on my life in a way that resonates of the Amazing Grace for which he is well known.
A survey was done on American University Campus' and they were asked; 'What is Jesus best known for?'' The answer of the majority was, 'he was the one who said, 'Love your enemies'. This is as it should be because the apostle Paul said, If I do this and that and pray and fast and be the VERY MOST SPIRITUAL Christian I can be and do not have LOVE, then I am NOTHING ... NOTHING!
Sobering isn't it, so as you pray, if you remember that someone has an offense against you, leave and love and come back knowing the devil has nothing on you. Keep on Asking, you will receive what you ask for.
I love Jesus, Julie
