For the Father Himself [tenderly] loves you because you have loved Me and have believed that I came out from the Father.
In today's scripture Jesus is talking about a new relationship, an intimate relationship between us the believer and God. Previously, people approached God through priests and saints. After Jesus' resurrection, all who believed can approach God directly. A new day has dawned and now all of us believers are called His children and are priests who talk to God directly and personally. We now approach God, not because of our own merit, but because Jesus our great High Priest, has made it possible and made us acceptable to God. The Father tenderly loves you! Take some time and reflect upon what Jesus is saying and communicate whatever you have on your heart to Him.
