“Whoever has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me. The one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love them and show myself to them.” John 14:21

Dear Jesus, All of your commands can be summed up in the word “Love”. So often I focus on trying to change the people around me so my life will be easier. I realize that you want me to love them first and not try to love myself by changing them. Help me to unconditionally love people and to seek their best interests. And give me patience when I don’t see the results of my love as soon as I had hoped. You give me oodles of time to come around. I want to do the same for those in my life. So, walk beside me and help me to love like you. Amen.

Love is patient, love is kind even when it knows it’s right.
