Imagine yourself sitting down and God in Christ , creator of all that is, coming over to you with a basin of water and a towel and one after the other washing the dirt off your feet and drying them. And imagine that accepting this one act is the entrance into every thing Jesus.
I mean imagine it right now! Go ahead and imagine Him, the God of the universe washing and drying your feet as the pre-requisite for relationship.
Does that blow you away? Is that humbling or what?
He then says "If I your Lord and teacher have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet."
The revelation of "being loved" is absolutely essential for "living loved."
Prayer, Bible reading, fasting, foot washing, giving etc. are the privilege of lovers, the response of being loved, never the means of attaining it.
You will never be more loved than you are right now. You will never be closer to God than you are right now.
Our joy in life is to discover and live daily in the fresh revelation of His love and nearness, experiencing the transformation it brings in us and around us, Joy, health, color, fragrance and flavor for you and your world.
Thanks Dad...this is such great news! I love you, and am off to imagine NOW!
