12 This is my commandment: Love each other in the same way I have loved you. 13 There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. 14 You are my friends if you do what I command. 15 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. 16 You didn’t choose me. I chose you. I appointed you to go and produce lasting fruit, so that the Father will give you whatever you ask for, using my name. 17 This is my command: Love each other.

I love that we are now friends with God. He confides in us and reveals everything to us. I love that he has chosen us... we didn't choose him first. Being chosen always is a great feeling! We have been appointed to go and produce lasting fruit. And the command Jesus gives is to love each other. If we abide in him and he abides in us we will be freed to love our fellow brothers and sisters from an overflow of the relationship we have with Jesus. We can love freely because Jesus freely loves us without condemnation!

Please keep all comments respectful. We want to remember that each of us is at a different place in our walk with God. This is a place for us to share openly about what has been revealed to us as we open up Gods word and to learn from others. Please take every opportunity possible to build each other up in love :-)
