Help me see through your eyes today, O
God, so only love will come forth from my soul.
O God, may those who feel the pain of loneliness know that
your love is always with them.
In moments of stillness turn my heart toward you, O God.

How can God love us
when we consistently fail to follow His Word?
God's love for me, for each and all of us, is not
based on my
or our performance (Thanks be to God), but on the
revealed
nature of the heart of God.

What Love Does
God is desperately in love with you and with me and
with all
creation. There is no turning back. For in Christ,
God has
made an irrevocable commitment to us, an irrevocable
commitment to loving us. And you might say that in
Christ,
God has indeed shouted this love from the highest
hill and
from the highest heaven.
This is what love does. It
recognizes the value in the other. It trusts in the
capacity for
good and for growth in the other. And on behalf of
the other,
it refuses to give up hope.
I believe that to love in this way is the vocation
of each and
every one of us who would call ourselves Christians.
And yet
if we were ever to be taken into court and convicted of
actually being Christians, I wonder if there would
be enough
evidence to convict us?

Love Songs for God
Next time youíre in the car listening to the radio
and you
hear a song that has something to do with love and
affection
and romance, see if you can say,
"That song is being played right now for me to sing
to you,
Lord God.For me to dedicate these few moments in the
car
to you, Lord God." You can
practice the
presence of
God even with the radio on.
