1 John 4:7–8 (CSB)
“Dear friends, let us love one another, because love is from God, and everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. The one who does not love does not know God, because God is love.”
Prayer:
Father of Love,
You have revealed Yourself to us through the gift of love—most clearly in the life, death, and resurrection of Your Son. Teach us to love as You love: not with words only, but with action, sacrifice, and grace.
Soften our hearts toward one another. Let the way we speak, serve, forgive, and show kindness bear witness to the truth that we know You. When we are tempted to hold grudges or withhold compassion, remind us that to truly know You is to walk in love.
Forgive us, Lord, for the times we have failed to love. Rekindle in us the desire to reflect Your heart in a world marked by division and pain. May Your Spirit shape us into a people who love without condition—because You are love, and we are Yours.
In the name of Jesus, who loved us first,
Amen.
