1 John 4:12-14 No one has seen God at any time; if we love one another, God abides in us, and His love is perfected in us. By this we know that we abide in Him and He in us, because He has given us of His Spirit. We have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son {to be} the Savior of the world.
Father many may wonder what You look like. Like other places, Your Word says here that no one has seen You. You are invisible and a spirit according to Your Word. But because of Your Love for us You took on flesh and became like Your creation. Jesus, the exact representation of You in the flesh. In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God and the Word became flesh and dwelt among us. Like a thought, the invisible can not be expressed until the thought becomes an outward expression. You who could not be seen, became revealed to us in Christ. Christ was the expression of Your care and love for us. Lord Jesus You became flesh for the purpose of becoming the Savior of the world. You have died for the sins of the whole world....but who will believe it? Who will draw near to You by the love You have shown us in bearing the Holy Judgment of the Father against sin? Who will accept the full and final payment for our sins? The Father knows.
Thank You for all you have done for us Lord. I pray for our country. Today we remember those who served and who died for our freedom. We hear so many stories of men laying down their lives to save each other, their friends and to protect the peace and freedom of their families back home. What a great reminder of what You did for us Lord! So we might be free from sins penalty and so we might live lives free of fear and judgment, so we might have peace with the Father, You laid down Your life for us willingly. Thank You for that love!
Lord You know all our personal needs. I lift them up to You tonight and ask for Your help and mercies as we need them and also praise You for the places You are working in our lives.
In Christ's Name we pray, amen.
