| TODAY'S SCRIPTURE "As the Father loved Me, I also have loved you; abide in My love." (John 15:9)
TODAY'S WORD , in your workplace, you probably take coffee breaks, lunch breaks, tea breaks and definitely bathroom breaks. Why not do the same in your spiritual life - take time out for breaks, especially love breaks?
What is a love break? It is the time you take to enjoy and feed on the love of Jesus for you. At any time during the day, wherever you are, find a quiet spot and feed on the love of Jesus. Just sit down and talk to Him. Say to Him, "Thank You, Jesus, for loving me. Nothing is going to happen to me that You don't already know about. Jesus, when I could not save myself, You died for me. You gave up Your life for me. What else will You not do for me!"
Such love breaks are typified in the Old Testament by Aaron the high priest and his sons eating the breast of the animal sacrificed. (Leviticus 7:31) The breast of the animal speaks of the love of Jesus. Today, you are a priest to God. (Revelation 1:6) So spend time feeding on the love of Jesus for you, and see yourself nourished, strengthened and sustained by His love. Jesus is our High Priest today. This means that His food is in loving us. He enjoys loving us and is also "nourished" by His love for us.
During the day, when you are hard at work, when busyness sets in, when problems pile up or when discouragement comes, just stop everything and take a love break with Jesus! Let Jesus love you. Let yourself enjoy being loved by Him.
A PRAYER FOR YOU TODAY | Father in Heaven, I want to pause on this Saturday morning and thank you for loving me. I stop what I'm doing now to rest in you and say I love you in Jesus' name. Amen. |
