Object of Affection
All The Way by Chris Tomlin
This week’s lesson for my high school girls is ‘What is the object of my affection?’. If we love something, or someone, how do we act towards it, treat it, interact with it. If its a person, how do they know they are the object of my affection? Well, if you want more of that specific lesson, join us @ 11:00 sunday morning.
As I was walking this morning I was meditating on the lesson scripture (John 14: 21-24). In my ear was playing Chris Tomlin’s song All The Way, that really brought home the point of Me being the object of God’s affection. He has affection for me. Yes, me personally. I receive the fullness of His Love. Not only through the surrendering sacrifice of Calvary did He show His love, but even now, still today, towards me personally. Jesus does not withhold the complete fullness of His love from me. I don’t get bits and pieces, dependent on my behavior and reaction. If I don’t measure up, when I fail, falter or simply don’t care- He doesn’t punish me by withholding His love. I need to grow and be more like my Father in that area of my life. I am the object of the fullness of the love of my Father and I tell you, that right there brings me to tears.
