I have hidden Thy word in my heart.

John 17. “My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in Me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in Me and I am in You. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that You have sent Me. I have given them the glory that You gave Me, that they may be one as We are one— I in them and You in Me—so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that You sent Me and have loved them even as You have loved Me” (Verses 20-23). Jesus prays for us, for you and me. We are the reason He came. We are the reason He died. The goal of the cross: for us to be able to have fellowship with God. Goal accomplished…isn’t it a shame that we don’t live in what Christ has done for us? Jesus prayed that we would have strength to overcome and strength to walk through the trials. Today would be a great day to start living like we believed it to be true.
