Scripture

John 14:15-18, 27-31a (BSFL*)

Translation

NIV

What God said to me

Obedience is better than sacrifice. I want you to obey Me. Just as Jesus was obedient even to the point of death, I want you to carry out My commands for your life.

What I said to God

Wow, this is a little heavier than what I expected for the morning. Now I am wondering what I have or have not done that would cause You to have this to say to me today. Here I am. Show me the ugly details of my disobedience that I might repent and offer to You once again my devotion through my obedience.
