Sept 20                                                                    The Power of God’s Word
I am in them and you are in me. May they experience such perfect unity that the world will know that you sent me and that you love them as much as you love me. -John 17:23 (NLT)
PERFECT UNITY
A poem and essay by ILMA
When you believe in Christ, you will have his love
He will dwell in your heart and also in the Father up above
You will experience perfect unity when you seek him
He was sent by God so that you will be redeemed.
Make certain that you are one with the Son
This will bring victory and make the devil run
God loves you as much as he loves Christ
Be with him and you will never lose sight.
Some Christians do not comprehend the love that God has for those who believe in him. God’s love for his people is just as much as his love for Christ. It took me many years to actually accept the truth that God loves me. Sometimes when children have unhappy experiences with parents and caregivers, they tend to grow up having relational problems with God too. Our biological parents usually become our basis for viewing God. If we have punishing parents, we tend to look at God the same way. Jesus that God loves us as much as God loves him.
PRAYER
Lord, thank you for loving me.
REFLECTION
How can we receive God’s love for us without feeling unworthy.
