DEVOTIONAL
Jesus prays,
“Father, I desire that they also, whom you have given me, may be with me where I am, to see my glory.”
This is one of the most tender and powerful assurances in Scripture. Eternal life is not only about being kept and sanctified—it is about being with Christ forever. His desire is your destiny.
Notice the certainty: here Jesus does not merely hope but He declares His will. His longing is that you and I would share His glory, experience His love, and dwell in His presence eternally.
This prayer presents heaven – not as not a distant dream, but as the fulfilment of Christ’s own request to the Father.
This truth assures you that your future is secure, your fellowship is guaranteed, and your eternity is anchored in the love of Christ.
You are wanted, welcomed, and destined to be with Him forever.
