Reflection and Renewal: Living In Love (based on 1 John 4:7)

God, There are times when we want to love in the way that you've showed us, but we aren't able to. Other times we are on auto-pilot and don’t give any thought or attention to living a life of love.  And other times we are simply unwilling to love.

We are in need of forgiveness and mercy.  In your endless love and bottomless grace, forgive us and help us to learn to let go of our guilt, apathy and lovelessness. In it’s place, let our hearts beat with your love, to set things right here and now as in heaven. Let us be attentive and willing to pass on your love. Amen.
