The book of John

Once upon a time someone told me this was the first book you should read out of the Bible, I didn't really think about that at the time, but when things are looking down rather than up, I find myself reading here a lot.

John 15:9-17NLT

"I have loved you even as the Father has loved me. Remain in my love. When you remain in my commandments you remain in my love, just as I obey my Father's commandments and remain in his love. I have told you these things so that you will be filled with my joy. Yes, your joy will overflow! This is my commandment: Love each other in the same way I have loved you. There is no greater love than to lay down one's life for one's friends. You are my friends if you do what I command. I no longer call you slaves, because a master doesn't confide in his slaves. Now you are my friends, since I have told you everything the Father told me. You didn't choose me. I chose you. I appointed you to go out and produce lasting fruit, so that my Father will give you whatever you ask for, using my name. This is my command: Love each other."

Keep praying for us that God will resolve things and that we can move on.

Goodnight,
