John 15:15
No
longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not know what his master is
doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I heard from My
Father I have made known to you.
I am not a blind servant of Jesus. He has made it
known to me what God is doing. As a friend of Jesus, we have a different
relationship than if we were just servants. He chose us, as John 15:16-17 says:
“You did not choose Me, but I chose you
and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should
remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you. These
things I command you, that you love one another.” He loved us and asked us
to love others in the same manner.
Jesus, I want to love you the way you loved me. I want
to be a friend, not just a servant who doesn’t know what his master is doing. I
want my relationship with you to be real. Teach me what it means to be chosen
and appointed by you so that I would bear fruit that would remain. Teach me how
to love others the way you loved me.
Application: Today I am going to search the scriptures
and ask the Lord to show me how He loved that I may love others in the same
manner and how to live in greater intimacy with Him.
