“And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless for the day of Christ.” Philippians 1:9-10

Dear Jesus, Whatever is spirituality, it always revolves around love, that is; love from you, love for you and love for others. This is not just something we receive and feel. It’s something we do, something we pursue, something we celebrate and something we practice all day long. I appreciate how you teach me to pray for more depth of insight from love. I get it that love for you means that I will seek to live pure and blameless before you to. Help me to bravely look at my life and find ways I can show love for you by changing the way I think and act. Help me to form habits of love that make even the quiet little moments a sacrifice of thanksgiving to you. Give me the wisdom and the courage to boldly do for others what love would dictate. And finally, help me to relish being a loving person and not loathe it as a loss. Amen.

Love makes us boldly love others even if it costs us dearly.
