Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. This is how God showed His love among us: He sent His one and only Son into the world that we might live through Him. This is love: not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and His love is made complete in us.  John 4:7-12 NET

God, You are love. All love starts and flows from You. We will never be part of building Your kingdom unless we believe that You love us, each one of us. Jesus, we know that love is learned through being loved by You. Help us to experience Your love in fresh, sweet ways in the days to come. As we see love in the everyday details of life, may a love for others be ignited. Yes Lord! We want to be people marked by love. We want people to literally feel the love of God when they encounter us. We pray hope, we pray healing, we pray deliverance, we pray love, we pray rejoicing, we pray salvation, we pray revival, we pray forgiveness in the name of Jesus Christ, amen!
