And hope makes not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us -Rom. 5:5.
In Jesus' name we will make a fresh commitment today Lord, to live the life of love, to let Your tenderness flow through us and heal the wounded hearts of those we meet. Father, teach us to love even when things go wrong. To be patient and kind. To overlook the spiteful words of an angry person. To rejoice when someone at the office gets the raise that we thought we needed.
Teach us to talk in love, to lay gossip quietly aside, and to take up words of grace instead. Lord Your Word says that Your love is already inside us... that it has been shed abroad in our hearts. Today we resolve to remove every obstacle that would keep that love from flowing freely into the lives of others.
We put resentments behind us and we forgive all those who have done us wrong. In the days ahead, cause us to increase and excel and overflow with Your love. Cause us to be what this world needs most of all... a living example of love. Amen.
