TODAY’S WORD…
.
Jesus said,
“All who love me will do what I say.
My Father will love them,
and we will come and make our home with each of them.
.
Anyone who doesn’t love me will not obey me.”
.
– John 14:23-24 (NLT)

REFLECTION…
.
When we hear Christ telling us,
”All who love me will do what I say”
do we, who claim to love Him, reflect deeply enough on those words?
Can we truly claim that we do what He tells us to?
.
Christ tells us to love our neighbour as we love ourselves. (cf. Mk 12:21)
Do we?
.
Christ also warns us about the vile things that defile us:
“evil thoughts,
sexual immorality,
theft,
murder,
adultery,
greed,
wickedness,
deceit,
lustful desires,
envy,
slander,
pride,
foolishness” (Mk 7:20-23).
.
Do we take heed of His warning?
.
Do we admit our weaknesses?
.
Do we sincerely ask Jesus to help us overcome them?
.
Or do we just tend to seek to justify them?
.
Jesus says,“Anyone who doesn’t love me will not obey me.”
Do I love Him?
.
.
.
REPETITIVE PRAYER FOR TODAY…
.
My Jesus, I so want to love You. Have mercy on me, Lord!
