“If you love me, keep my commands. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever— the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you. I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. Before long, the world will not see me anymore, but you will see me. Because I live, you also will live. On that day you will realize that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you. Whoever has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me. The one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love them and show myself to them.” John 14 15 - 21
Reciprocity describes the interaction between us all that creates new everything. Fresh and original, like a baby. As chemicals mix and react: as instruments blend music; as debates shift ideology. New things are created. We follow Christ, not so much because we are commanded to, but because it is our desire. It is what we want from the bottom of our heart. And so the interaction between us creates something new and invigorating. It is seen in new ways of understanding, new insights, new strength and determination, new experiences of joy.
PRAYER: Everyday I walk with you I am see more clearly, and love you more dearly.
"I am the vine: you are the branches."
