“As the Father has loved me, so I have loved you; abide in my love”.
We all have things which we cannot abide – muddy footprints on clean floors, rudeness, scams, bullying. John’s Gospel offers us something to accept: to live in love. It is a costly thing to accept – it might lead to a life full of opportunity and it might make us vulnerable. But as those who have loved know, a life abiding in love is the most precious thing. Jesus offers a life of knowing that you are loved just as you are – can you accept his invitation?
