Hello, and welcome to Selah – a sacred pause in the noise of life.
 I invite you to find a quiet spot, free from distractions, where you can fully focus on God’s presence.
 As we move through this meditation, engage your heart and mind—visualize the scriptures, let the words take root in your soul, and repeat the prayers.

Today, we’re reflecting on John 14:21:
 â€śWhoever 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.”

True love for Jesus is shown through obedience. And when we walk in His ways, He promises a deeper revelation of Himself—His presence, His love, and His peace filling our lives.

Close your eyes.
 Take a slow, deep breath in…
 Hold…
 Exhale slowly…

"Quiet my heart, Lord. Help me to be fully present with You.
 I rest in the knowledge that You are here,
 shaping me, molding me, and completing a good work in me."

I take another breath in…
 And as I exhale, I picture myself walking with Jesus.
 He gently places His hand on my shoulder.
 His words are clear: “If you love Me, keep My commands.”

I realize love is not just a feeling—it’s a response.
 It’s choosing His way even when it’s hard.
 It’s trusting His Word more than my own desires.
 And as I walk in obedience,
 I feel His love surround me like a warm light.

“The one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love them and show myself to them.”

I whisper the words:
 â€śShow Yourself to me, Lord.”

Breathe in…
 His love.
 Breathe out…
 My resistance.

"Lord Jesus, I love You.
 But I confess that sometimes I struggle to live out that love in obedience.
 Forgive me when I choose my way over Yours."

"Help me to keep Your Word close to my heart.
 Teach me to walk in Your commands with joy, not obligation.
 Reveal Yourself to me more and more as I surrender to You."

I breathe in love…
 I breathe out fear.
 I breathe in obedience…
 I breathe out resistance.

Let’s take another deep breath in…
 Hold…
 Exhale slowly…
 Speak these truths over your soul:

"My love for Jesus is shown in my obedience."
 "I am loved by the Father."
 "Jesus reveals Himself to me as I follow Him."
 "His love surrounds and sustains me."

Breathe in…
 Love.
 Breathe out…
 Doubt.

Breathe in…
 Obedience.
 Breathe out…
 Resistance.

"Thank You, Jesus, for loving me with an everlasting love.
 Thank You that as I walk in obedience,
 I come to know You more deeply.
 Reveal Yourself to me,
 guide me by Your Spirit,
 and let my life reflect true love for You."

Until next time, I will stay in Your presence and let hope overflow.
 Selah.
