A Full Understanding And Expression



May the Lord lead your hearts into a full understanding and expression of the love of God and the patient endurance that comes from Christ.



—2 Thessalonians 3:5 (NLT)



Heavenly Father,



Lead my heart, Lord, to come to fully understand Your love, so that my heart would become fashioned after Yours and I would be able to express that same love to others—by my every word and action—while I await, with patient endurance, for the return of Christ.



Help me each day to come to understand Your love more—by granting me insights into its mysteries and ever deeper revelations of its wondrous and healing power.



Let my deepening understanding of Your unfailing love cause my heart to change toward others—so that I am able to fully express Your love to them, as my own.



Let Your love’s patient endurance live in me—a manifestation of Christ in me—so that all will see You in me, and give You the glory and honor that You are due.



Lead my heart, Lord, to come to fully understand Your love, so that my heart would become fashioned after Yours and I would be able to express that same love to others—by my every word and action—while I await, with patient endurance, for the return of Christ.



In the name of Jesus, Amen.
