Our Basic Need by Billy Graham

Day By Day With Billy Graham

Day 111 of 366 Our Basic Need A basic need of mankind is affection. Those who "abide in Him" are objects of God's affection and love. You cannot say that you are friendless when Christ has said, "Henceforth I call you not servants . . . but I have called you friends" (John 15:15). To you who lament the fact that you have been bereft of affection and love in this life, I happily commend Christ. He loved you enough to lay down His life for you. Not only that, but by His atonement upon the cross, He purchased the favor of God in your behalf, and now through Him you may be the recipient of the grace and love of God without measure. Daily Prayer Thank You for Your love, Father, that no matter where I am-in whatever situation-You are there, loving me. Psalms 91:14 NASB 14 "Because he has loved Me, therefore I will deliver him; I will set him securely on high, because he has known My name.
