Love As Christ Loved

We have probably read it so often that we don´t stop to consider it. But Jesus´ command was for us to follow Him. We are to fill ourselves with His kind of selflessness and care. His unfathomable sacrifice for us wayward sinners is to mark us for life. We would be like Him or have no part with Him.

Dear Lord, draw us so close that we begin to reflect Your love. Fill our hearts with You so that they pour over with Your nature. Let all those around us know that Your presence is what makes us who we are – we pray. Amen
