Good morning, Jesus.
Lord, we humbly ask Your forgiveness. How did we get this way? As a society, we’ve thrown Your “Love your neighbor” mandate out the window. And look where it has got us. Without Your love living in us, we lack the empathy to see the hurt and pain that haunt the oppressed and downtrodden. Without Your grace, despair and hopelessness reigns in their lives. Destroy in us any prejudices that blind us from seeing one another as a wounded spirit that You loved enough to shed Your sinless blood for their redemption, just as You did for me. Forgive me for looking at others any other way. Give us the courage to reach out to others, especially those much different than we are. Help us live the message of 1 John 4:7,8. “Beloved, let us love one another, because love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God, because God is love.”
Loving others as You love, Jesus. Amen.
THANKFUL
