Let all that you do be done with love.
Dear Jesus,
As the Father has loved You, You also have loved me. I pray to abide in Your love forever. Just as You have obeyed the Father's commandments, I pray to keep Your commandment to love one another as You have loved us. There is no greater love that this, then to lay down one's life for his friends. Thank You Jesus for the cross. Bless You Lord for You no longer call us servants, You have called us friend. By Your Spirit You have purified our souls as we believe in the truth. May our love for the brethren be sincere and with a pure heart. Loving them fervently because we have been born again not by corruptible seed but by incorruptible through the word of our God which lives and abides forever. May the love we have for one another cover a multitude of wrongs as we graciously forgive without grumbling, murmuring or complaining. But through kindness that has been taught to us by You our Lord and Savior restoring each and every relationship to peace. Father I pray by Your Spirit we would be hospitable to each other, not being busybodies in our neighbor's matters. Let us not love in word or tongue but in deed and truth remembering that we are Your children. May all the world know we are Yours because we genuinely love our brothers. Let us not be found saying yes, I love God but we hate our families. Let no one call us liars for love has been perfected among us in You our Lord Jesus Christ. I pray we live by Your example and when asked what is the reason for our hope may our response be He has risen, Emmanuel is with us. I love You Lord. In Your name Jesus I pray, Amen.
John 15:9-15, 1 Peter 1:22&23, and 1 John 4
