A Prayer about God’s Great Love

[prismaticbleed]

 God, Your love never ceases to amaze me! It is:

Generous: "of noble birth"; valiant & excellent, of infinite worth & value, of divinely elevated sentiment & of all-surpassing quality; allowing US to be "reborn" into a greater soul through His pure-hearted courage bestowed on us in Christ--

Grand: great in size, limitless, unmeasurable--

Glorious: renowned and honored, praised among all creation, of impeccable reputation & worthy of all accolades--

Thank You for loving me without condition. I don’t deserve it, yet You never stop loving and pursuing me. 

Teach me to freely love others as You have loved me. Teach me to love those who "don't merit such treatment," who frustrate & offend & even frighten me. Teach me to love them sincerely despite all that-- without even considering those things! Teach me to pursue them in compassion, never giving up or flaking out, always willing to go the extra mile for them, even if they don't seem to appreciate it. That doesn't matter. Love itself matters. Teach me to love with YOUR Love.

 In Jesus’ name, Amen.
