Hatred stirs up strife, but love covers all sins.
Dear Heavenly Father,
You dwell in the high and holy place. You are the High and Lofty One who inhabits eternity and Your name is Holy. You revive the spirit of the humble and the heart of the contrite. Who Lord may stand in Your Holy place? He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who has not lifted up his soul to an idol. But there is none righteous, no not one. Jesus we need You, sinners need a Savior, and You are He. Oh that we should be kind to one another, forgiving each other just as You God have forgiven us through Your atoning sacrifice. Jesus I am always awestruck when I read how You humbled Yourself to wash the feet of the disciples. The only begotten Son of the Father, the Prince of peace, took a towel and girded Yourself. Got down on Your knees on that dusty floor, removed the sandals from the feet of the men You spent time teaching and washed them. What an incredibly unselfish act. Lord, I pray we have the courage to do the same, in all humility and kindness, loving each other the way You so love us. Your love suffers long, and are kind, You never envy, You don't parade Yourself and are not puffed up or behave rudely. Never seeking Your own but always doing the will of Your Father. You are never provoked, think no evil and never rejoice in iniquity. But rejoicing in truth, while bearing all things, You are hope that endures. Your love Jesus never fails, Your love Jesus is the greatest! My words of thanksgiving seem so small in respect to Your generosity, so please Lord fill me today with a refreshing of Your Holy Spirit to love as You have so graciously loved me. Amen.
Isaiah 57:15, Psalm 24:3-4, Romans 3:10, Ephesians 4:32 and John 13:1-17
