God Help Us To Love Each Other

The Bible declares at James 4:8…”Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.” Please pray with me:

God, help us to love each other as You love us:
Loving through the layers of what we think is hidden;
Loving through the unspoken while listening to our empty utterances;
Loving despite contradictions of what we say and what we do;
God, help us to love each other because You love us with our faults.

God, help us to love each other as You love us:
Loving through our cover-ups;
Loving through our sweet utterances, yet dark hearts;
Loving through our lies spoken with “just enough” truth;
God, help us to love each other because You love us despite what you know about us.

God, help us to love each other as You love us;
Loving through our mistakes;
Loving through our intakes;
Loving through our outbreaks;
God, help us to love each other because of Your unconditional love toward us.

God, help us to love each other because this is Your message from the beginning: “We should love one another.” We ask these things in the name of Your Son, Jesus Christ. Amen.
