Let Us Pray
God, thank you for showing us what real love looks like.
Your love is so patient and kind, and I want to be a person who shares that in every part of my life.
I ask you to please help me.
Help me to be kind to myself and to see my own value the way you see it.
Help me to be a source of patience and support for my partner and my family.
When I’m in a hurry or dealing with people I don’t know, help me to choose kindness over frustration.
Please fill me with your love today, so I can let it flow out to everyone I meet.
Amen.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a good short Bible verse to memorize about love?
A really good one to start with is 1 Corinthians 16:14: "Let all that you do be done in love." It's short, easy to remember, and it gives us a clear goal for our entire day.
How can I love people who are difficult?
That's a struggle we all face. Verses like 1 John 4:7 remind us that "love is of God." This means we can ask Him for His love for that person, because our own love runs out. It's about letting His love flow through us.
What does it mean that "God is love"?
It means that love is His main characteristic. Everything He does (His patience, His forgiveness, His sacrifice) comes from His loving nature. It's not just one of His qualities; it's who He is at His core.
