Being My Best For GodSample

God Gives Me Love

The Bible tells me that “God is love” and that love comes from God. But sometimes it’s hard to love someone. Telling myself, “I’m going to treat that person with kindness and respect,” doesn’t help me love anyone. When I pray, “Lord, give me Your love for that person,” then the Holy Spirit can help me. He gives me the power to see that person as God sees them and to love them with God-like love.

PRAYER

Lord, it’s hard for me to love __________. (Does anyone come to my mind?) I pray, “Holy Spirit, pour the love of God into my heart for __________.” Asking God just once to give me His love for a person is a lot like taking only one vitamin—it doesn’t hurt, but it doesn’t do much good either. Asking the Holy Spirit to fill me with God’s love is something I need to do every day, because every day I need God’s help in loving others. Amen.
