TODAY’S WORD…

.

Jesus said,

“You are my friends if you do what I command.”

.

– John 15:14 (NIV)

.

.

.

REFLECTION…

.

Is there an alternative, Lord?

.

What am I, if I do not do as You command?

.

When we decide to be docile and follow the will of God

and to obey His commands,

if we do all we can to keep Jesus company,

from Bethlehem to Calvary,

sharing His joys and sufferings,

we will become worthy of entering into loving conversation with Him;

worthy of Him calling us His friends.

.

Jesus is truly God and truly Man,

He is our Brother and our Friend.

If we make the effort to get to know Him well,

to listen to Him

and to do as He says,

we will share in the joy of being God’s friends.

.

If we don’t…

.

REPETITIVE PRAYER FOR TODAY…

.

Jesus, Son of the Living God,

have mercy on me a sinner.

Heal me, Lord, I want to be Your friend.
