Wait on the Lord; be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart; Wait, I say, on the Lord." (Psalm 27:13-14, NKJV). Lord, teach us to wait on Your best, in Jesus' name.

Jesus said: "I have told you these things so that you will be filled with My joy. Yes, your joy will overflow! This is My commandment: Love each other in the same way I have loved you. There is no greater love than to lay down one's life for one's friends. You are My friends if you do what I command. I no longer call you slaves, because a master doesn't confide in his slaves. Now you are my friends, since I have told you everything the Father told Me." (John 15:11-15, NLT).

Lord, help us love the way You have loved us, in Jesus' name.
