Please read John 13.

Meditate on verse 23.
There was reclining on Jesus’ bosom
one of His disciples whom Jesus loved.
When John wrote about reclining
on the bosom of His Savior, he gave you an incredible
picture of intimacy with Christ. As John
couched closely with Jesus, he was able
to hear His heartbeat. It is amazing that
Almighty God not only allows such closeness to Him but desires you to be that close to
Him!
David
wrote about this kind of intimacy
with God: “The secret of the LORD is for those
who fear Him” (Ps. 25:14).
The Hebrew word for secret
literally means intimacy.1 The LORD
is intimate with and reveals His
secrets to those who fear Him.
As you walk with Jesus today,
lean up against His chest and hear His heart beating. Ask Him what His heartbeat is concerning issues in your life and
the lives of those you love. Learn what makes
Him happy, sad, joyful, and mad. Ask Him to give you His heart for
what is happening in the world, so your heart
beats as one with His.
Pray
to obey Jesus’ command in John 13:34-35. Pray it over yourself and those for
whom you stand guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).
“LORD, as I lean on You, help me
to hear and obey You.
May ________ and I love one
another, even as You have loved us,
that we may love one another.
May all men know that we are
Your disciples
because we love one another.
For the sake of Your name,
Jesus~”
