Read

Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar. For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen.

(1 John 4:20)

Pray

Dear God,

You have commanded us to love one another, for love comes from You. Yet, there are times when I struggle to love those around me, especially those who are difficult to love. I confess that there are people in my life whom I have not loved as I should and for that, I ask for Your forgiveness. Help me to see others through Your eyes and to love them as You love them, without judgment or prejudice.

You have shown me great love through the sacrifice of Your Son, Jesus Christ, and I pray that I may reflect that love in my relations with others. Teach me to love my neighbors, my enemies, and everyone in between. Give me the strength and grace to love unconditionally, in word and action, so that others may see Your love through me. Thank You for the gift of love and the ability to share it with those around me.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.
