“And may the Lord cause you to increase and overflow with love for one another and for everyone just as we do for you.” 1 Thessalonians 3:12
Dear Jesus, Your love for me never quits. It overflows from the cross and spills over into my heart and life. It washes my sins away to make me blameless. It reminds me that I am yours and that you will never leave me. It assures me that nothing, no nothing at all in heaven or on earth can separate me from you. Your love for me is always the same and it is always lavish and abundant; it is always more than enough. Fill my heart so full of your love, dear Jesus, that my heart will overflow for the people I meet and the people I see. Increase your love in my heart, dear Jesus. Increase my care for other people so that I weep when they weep, suffer when they suffer rejoice when they rejoice. Increase me loving actions in their life to respond in the right way to love them the way that you love me. Work this in my heart, dear Jesus, that I may love like you. Amen.
Our hearts overflow with love for others because Jesus’ love overflows to us.
