Just Love



Dear friends, let us continue to love one another, for love comes from God.  Anyone who loves is a child of God and knows God.  But anyone who does not love does not know God, for God is love.

—1 John 4:7-8 (NLT)



Heavenly Father,


Help me to love others with the kind of love that only comes from You.


Since I am Your child, made in Your very own image, help me share Your love with others—the same love that I have been blessed to experience in my own life, not because of any great thing that I have done, but simply because I know You.

Out of a heart overflowing with gratitude to You for Your love for me, and through Your eyes of understanding, mercy, forgiveness, compassion and grace, help me to see others as You do and make intentional choices and take definitive actions to give of myself to others in love—just as Jesus did.

And may all those that look at me, in truth, only see Your love reflected through me—and be drawn to You that they may come to know that You are love.


Help me to love others with the kind of love that only comes from You.


In the name of Jesus, Amen.
