Don’t you know that we all have God as our Father? Didn’t the one God create each of us? Then why do you cheat each other? ~ Malachi 2:10a (CEV)
All people will know that you are my followers if you love each other. ~ John 13:35 (NCV)
KEY IDEA:
When we love each other we are proving that we have the same Father in heaven.PRAYER:
Dearest Father,
THANKS: I am grateful for your love. It defines who I am.
REGRETS: I'm sorry that I don't always love other followers of Jesus. It's really hard because so many of them are jerks. And maybe I am, too. It's really hard to love people.
INTERCESSION: Show me how to love. That is, give me some practical ways that I can love difficult people.
PURPOSE: I really want to demonstrate my connection to you by loving everyone else who is connected to you.
Amen.
