| As the Father loved Me, I also have loved you; abide in My love. |

You Are The Disciple Whom Jesus Loves | |
I used to think that of all the
disciples Jesus loved, John was most loved by the Lord because the Bible
calls him “the disciple whom Jesus loved.” Then one day, I discovered
that the phrase, “the disciple whom Jesus loved,” only appears in John’s
Gospel. In other words, it was John who called himself the disciple
whom Jesus loved!
Was John being arrogant? Did
Jesus love him more than the rest? No, Jesus loved all 12 disciples the
same, but John knew it and he personalized and practiced Jesus’ love for
him.
My friend, that’s what you ought to do too. Don’t just say, “Yes, yes, Jesus loves everybody.” Say, “Jesus loves ME!” Say, “I am the student whom Jesus loves,” or “I
am the mom whom Jesus loves!” Every day, personalize, practice and rest
in Jesus’ love for you. Expect good things to happen to you when you
believe that Jesus loves YOU in an intimate and personal way!
