Dear Heavenly Father,
Please help us to view our inner being like a spiritual balloon that you’re are blowing up with unfathomable love. You rejoice to do us good, and we are simply delighted to bask in your love that you put into our spiritual core. Let us receive the Word and then internalize the truth of it, so that it becomes a tangible element in our daily walk. Let us not minimize or marginalize the truth that you love us with an eternal love. Let us not dismiss the reality that Jesus was willing to die for us. Let us constantly revisit that reality, so we do not stray from it.
And then, Father, help us to let your love be lived out so others can witness your love. Not our weak and timid love, but your magnificent and glorious love, as it passes through us then out of us to others. Let this not be an abstract thought that has no basis in sound reasoning, rather let the reality of your love be a tangible expression of you and your love for all. Help us not to be timid by limiting love, or be stingy, thinking we’ll exhaust your love. Help us to be as extravagant in giving love, as you have been in giving love to us. We pray this in Jesus’ name. Amen
