TEACH US HOW TO LOVE LIKE CHRIST LOVE'S US

Love is the gift that matters when other gifts become too showy, too pricey, or too self-serving.  Love heals when other gifts injury,  Love, listens when other gifts get gabby.  Love serve when other gifts want to be served and love has two wonderful friends, faith and hope; when we have all three, wisdom and knowledge takes resident in our hearts.

1 Corinthians 13:4-8: “Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil, does not rejoice in iniquity but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.”

Dear God, Thank You that You are a loving, gracious God. Thank You that You’ve offered us forgiveness and the gift of new life in You. Thank You that Your love is perfect, it never fails, and that nothing can separate us from Your love.  We pray that our lives would be filled and overflow with the power of Your love and grace so we can make a difference in this world and bring honor to You. We ask for Your help in reminding us that the most important things are not what we do outwardly, it’s not based on any talent or gift, but the most significant thing we can do in this life is simply to love You and to choose to love others.  Lord thank You that Your love is patient. Help us show patience with those around us.  Lord thank You that Your love is kind and help us to extend kindness to others. Lord, thank You that true love is not jealous, envy, or judgemental;  help us cast aside feelings of jealousy or hatred towards others, and let Your love in us bring us together in unity. I Jesus name Amen
