December 11 Devotion - Jesus Christ (Love) Never Fails

God is love.

^{1 John 4:8}

 

I and my Father are one.

^{John 10:30}

Jesus Christ (Love) is patient,

Jesus Christ is kind,

Jesus Christ does not boast,

Jesus Christ is not proud.

Jesus Christ does not dishonor others,

Jesus Christ (Love) is not self-seeking,

Jesus Christ is not easily angered,

Jesus Christ keeps no record of wrongs,

Jesus Christ does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth,

Jesus Christ always protects,

Jesus Christ always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres,

Jesus Christ never fails.

1 Corinthians 13:4-8

New International Version (NIV)

 Jesus Christ is the embodiment of love.

It is not the will of My Father Who is in heaven that one of these little ones should be lost and perish. For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me. ³⁹ This is the will of the Father who sent Me, that of all He has given Me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up at the last day. ⁴⁰ And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him may have everlasting life; and I will raise him up at the last day.”

Matthew 18:14, John 6:38-40

هكذا ليست مشيئة امام ابيكم الذي في السموات ان يهلك احد هؤلاء الصغار

38 لاني قد نزلت من السماء ليس لاعمل مشيئتي بل مشيئة الذي ارسلني.
39 وهذه مشيئة الآب الذي ارسلني ان كل ما اعطاني لا أتلف منه شيئا بل اقيمه في اليوم الاخير.
40 لان هذه مشيئة الذي ارسلني ان كل من يرى الابن ويؤمن به تكون له حياة ابدية وانا اقيمه في اليوم الاخير

Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, ¹⁰ that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, ¹¹ and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Philippians 2:9-11

 لذلك رفعه الله ايضا واعطاه اسما فوق كل اسم

10 لكي تجثو باسم يسوع كل ركبة ممن في السماء ومن على الارض ومن تحت الارض
ويعترف كل لسان ان يسوع المسيح هو رب لمجد الله الآب

By God's standard, Jesus was an overwhelming success. He completed the mission God gave Him. He did God's will in all things. He did everything He came to do.

I have glorified You on the earth. I have finished the work which You have given Me to do.

John 17:4

اانا مجدتك على الارض .العمل الذي عطيتني لاعمل قد اكملته .

 

I invite you to repeat the following prayer for yourself:

Abba Father, thank You for Your abundant blessings. Lord, I praise You, I glorify You and I rejoice in Your grace. Thank You Jesus that You loved me even when I was a sinner and died to redeem me. Thank You that You completed the work that God gave You to do. I join God and I highly exalt You Jesus. I kneel at the name of Jesus and I confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.  Thank You Jesus that because I believe in You I have everlasting life; and You will raise me up at the last day.

Jesus please strengthen me with power through Your Spirit in my inner being so that I can be strong and of good courage in the face of challenging circumstances. I know Christ that You will never leave me nor forsake me.

Help me Lord to bring all my thoughts into captivity to the obedience of Christ and to become Christ-like.

Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you. Show me the way I should go, for to You I lift up my soul. In the Holy Name of Jesus I pray. To Him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen. ‘Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.’ Ephesians 3:20-21

Jesus loves you

In Him,
