Jesus asked the Father for his disciples' security, sanctity and unity. Jesus still intercedes for us so fervently because we live in a world that is deceived, dangerous, defiled and divided.
Warren W. WiersbeThe eyes see what the heart loves. If the heart loves God and is single in this devotion, then the eyes will see God whether others see Him or not
Warren W. WiersbeIf you take care of yourself and walk with integrity, you may be confident that God will deal with those who sin against you. Above all, don't give birth to sin yourself, rather, pray for those who persecute you. God will one day turn your persecution into praise.
