Fix Your Eyes on Jesus
Day 19
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit,
You are present in Your word, Jesus. As I turn toward these verses, prepare my heart, spirit, body, and mind. Let your presence flow from these words, through my pen, and into my heart. I love you, Jesus.
As the Father loves me, so I also love you. Remain in my love.
John 15:9-11
If you keep my commandments, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commandments and remain in his love.
I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and your joy may be complete.
Jesus, help me to remain in Your love today. I want to experience Your joy today and Your joy only. I want a life that is abundantly full with Your joy and true life. Sometimes, I feel like I need You minute by minute just to make it through the day. Keep me close to You today. And keep those I love. Teach us to live in Your joy and peace again.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit,
Amen.
