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,
Since You are love, help me to know You more and more each day—so that, as Your very own child, I would love You first, love You best, and love You always. Then help me prove my love for You by loving others as You have first loved me.
Show
me how apart from You I cannot truly love—that I first must come to know You, through
Your Word and by Your Spirit, and in doing so, learn to know, accept, and personally
experience Your great love for me.
Remind
me that I am Your child, made in Your
very own image! And that as such, I was
created to be a vehicle of Your love—to share with others that same love which
I have experienced in my own life, through my personal relationship with You.
Continue
to fill me to overflowing with Your perfect love—that the same compassionate
and merciful love, with which You have so graciously loved me, would pour out
from me in love for others.
Since You are love, help me to know You more and more each day—so that, as Your very own child, I would love You first, love You best, and love You always. Then help me prove my love for You by loving others as You have first loved me.
In the name of Jesus,
Amen.
