Always Be . . .

 

 

Always be humble and gentle. Be patient with each other, making allowance for each other’s faults because of your love.

 

—Ephesians 4:2 (NLT)

 

 

 

Heavenly Father,

 

Show me how to love others, just as Jesus has loved me.

 

Grant me a humble heart—that I would not think more highly of myself than I ought—knowing that any good thing that may be found in me is only there by Your hand.

 

Grant me a gentle spirit—that I would act with loving gentleness in all my dealings with others—offering them both truth and grace, which are born out of Christ’s great love for us all.

 

Grant me a patient disposition—that I would not blindly rush past any invitation of the Holy Spirit for me to be a part of what You are doing to change the hearts and lives of those You put before me.

 

Grant me a merciful attitude—that I would make allowances for the faults of others, out of my love for them—remembering that all of us are broken in some way and need Your healing touch.

 

Show me how to love others, just as Jesus has loved me.

 

In the name of Jesus, Amen.

—Ephesians 4:2 (NLT)

Heavenly Father,

Teach me to love others with humility, gentleness, patience, and compassion—and with great mercy, forgiveness and grace—out of a deep gratitude for how You love me, and in willing obedience to the commands of Your Word.

Grant me a humble heart—that I might not think more highly of myself than I ought to think—as I acknowledge that any good thing that may be found in me comes only by Your hand.

Help me to be lovingly gentle in all of my dealings with others—offering them truth and grace, delivered with love—remembering at all times that Christ died for every one of us, out of His immeasurable love for us all.

Remind me of the patience, mercy, forgiveness and grace that You show me—every moment of each day—so that I might be a living offering of Christ’s patient and compassionate love to others, at all times.

Help me to make allowances for the faults of others, by the way that I love them—as I remember that all of us are broken in some way.  And help me see that You may want to use me in the work You are doing to heal their brokenness and make them whole again, in You.

Teach me to love others with humility, gentleness, patience, and compassion—and with great mercy, forgiveness and grace—out of a deep gratitude for how You love me, and in willing obedience to the commands of Your Word.
