To Love With All Thy Heart

 

Dear Lord please be with us this day and please may Your Holy Spirit be guiding and protecting us in every thing that we say and do. Thank You for all of the great gifts and the blessings and the protection that You give us and please forgive our sins the same as we forgive the mistakes of others.

Dear Lord please be leading us as we worship Your appearance to us as we surrender our will and accept Yours in this time of transition from hate to love, from evil to good, as we mix and mingle with Your Children in Your Creation while dealing with the temptations of this world even as we are so weak and easily intimidated by our friends and acquaintances as we try to emulate our version of the wisdom as spoken by Jesus Christ, in Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.

Quotation:*

Love is the purification of the heart from self.  It strengthens and ennobles the character, gives a higher motive and worthier aim to every action of life, and makes both man and woman courageous.  The power to love truly and devotedly is the highest gift with which a human being can be endowed. -Endsor
