Memory Verse (Week 18)

This week's Memory Verse is found in John 14:21

"Whoever has my commands and obeys them, he is the one who loves me. He who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love him and show myself to him."

As children, we are told to obey our parents. Sometimes they can be the most difficult thing for us to do. We don't see the bigger picture - our parents know what's good for us and instruct us out of love.

As adults, we are left to use what we learned from our parents to survive and thrive - physically. But spiritually, we need to have the guidance of our Heavenly Father to lead us and mold us into a new creation. When we obey His commands for us, he will reveal himself to us.

Let's take the time to learn what our Father is commanding us to do, not because we have to but because we want to.
