The Love of GOD is full acceptance of you and me. We are not rejected in any aspect of our lives by Our Heavenly Father. Because of HIS unfathomable Love, HE provided the means for our full restoration of fellowship through the Blood of Jesus Who is FATHER’S expressed image.
Who better to pray for you and me than Jesus Himself! He spoke only what He heard FATHER say thus His prayer in the following passage expresses FATHER’S Divine Intent and outcome.
Jesus prayed for you and me in John chapter 17:
20 “And I ask not only for these disciples,
but also for all those who will one day
believe in Me through their message.
21 I pray for them all to be joined together as one
even as You and I, Father, are joined together as One.
I pray for them to become one with Us
so that the world will recognize that You sent Me.
22 For the very glory You have given to me I have given them
so that they will be joined together as one
and experience the same unity that We enjoy.
23 You live fully in Me and now I live fully in them
so that they will experience perfect unity,
and the world will be convinced that You have sent Me,
for they will see that You Love each one of them
with the same passionate Love that You have for Me.
24 “Father, I ask that you allow everyone that you have given to Me
to be with Me where I am!
Then they will see My full glory—
the very splendor You have placed upon Me
because You have Loved Me even before the beginning of time.
25 “You are My righteous Father,
but the unbelieving world has never known You
in the perfect way that I know You!
And all those who believe in Me
also know that You have sent Me!
26 I have revealed to them Who You are
and I will continue to make You even more real to them,
so that they may experience the same endless Love
that You have for Me,
for Your Love will now live in them, even as I live in them!”
There is no rejection associated with our relationship Jesus prayed about in the above passage. It is one of full acceptance and unity with Them. It is critically important for us to grasp this prayer and accept it wholeheartedly as Jesus’ greatest desire for fellowship and unity with each of us.
Ponder these Words in His prayer today and ask FATHER to reveal HIS endless Love to you.
