EVEN AS

Today's reading: John 13-15

"I have loved you even as the Father has loved me. Remain in my love." John 15:9 NLT

I don't know if you've noticed it or not, but we live on the 'Island of Misfit Toys'...And before you think you are the only sane one, well, you are here for a reason, too!

The 'dysfunctional' label  can be attached to just about any and every family on earth today. Whether it be in what the family keeps under wraps, how it chooses to cope, what all it does to keep from imploding or how it airs its dirty laundry.

So this verse gives me hope!

Jesus loved, and died, for me based on the love He was shown by his Father. God.

Jesus loved us as God loved Him.

What better example could there be?

Perfect love.

Unmarred.

Unchanging.

Sacrificial.
