‘If you love me, keep my commands…’ (John 14:15)
Through His Son, Jesus, God has revealed just how great his love for us is and during one of His final discourses with His Disciples, our Lord makes this simple request of them, ‘if you love me, keep my commands…’ Yet we all know that keeping these commands isn’t always that easy. So in your prayers ask the Spirit to help you, to help you keep those commands of Jesus, focussing on the two great commands He gave to us – to love the Lord our God with all our heart, strength, soul and mind, and to love our neighbour as ourselves. If we can begin to do this, that’s a good way to start.
