Matt 25, John 17, John 15&14

Thank you, father, for choosing me to be yours and for indwelling me, so that I could be used by you to serve my brothers.  Thank you, that I have come to you. I inherit the kingdom that you have prepared for me from the foundation of the world. By your grace, I have been faithful over little things; so you set me over greater things, and I enter into the joy of my lord and master.

I know you, my father, and I continue to be with you, and the love which you have for your son, Jesus, now fills me and pulses in me.  I abide in Christ and Christ Jesus abides in me. I keep my eyes and my purposes on your commands; on your word.  I abide in your love, and I have the joy of the Lord, and my joy is full. You chose me, oh Lord, and filled me with your divine life. I am filled with your spirit, father, the spirit of truth. The world doesn’t know him, but I know him for he dwells with me and is in me.
