Reading: 1st John 4:19-21: "We love because He first loved us. If someone says, "I love God," and hates his brother, he is a liar; for the one who does not love his brother whom he has seen, cannot love God whom he has not seen. And this commandment we have from Him, that the one who loves God should love the brother also."
Directive
Lord, we ask for forgiveness from the many, many, times we have dismissed or rejected others. Forgetting that each one of us is Your child in Your love--even when walking far away from You.
And sometimes that person was our self. Yet, You did not hate us.
Please keep guiding us to see others through Your ongoing love and mercy.
In stead to pray as You nudge us to be kind in all circumstances.
To see and remember Your personal cost for each one of us.
Your thoughts,
