I Love to Visualize John 14:20

 I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you.

~ Jesus ~

Every time I hear or read this verse, I remember a demonstration one of our pastors gave when explaining the love, security, and power each person has who surrenders their life to Jesus.

To visualize this verse, you will need four different sized envelopes.  On the largest write “God”.  On the next size write “Jesus”.  Put it inside the God envelope (I am in my Father).  On the next size write “Me”, or your name.  Insert it inside the Jesus envelope (you are in me).  On the smallest envelope write “Jesus”.  Put it inside the Me envelope (I am in you).

Look where you are in God’s plan – inside God and surrounded by Jesus.  

I can’t imagine ever wanting to remove myself from that security by refusing to obey His plan of salvation.  Following Jesus means I am secure in the love of God, whether good or bad things are happening to me.
