“A new commandment I give unto you, that you love one another just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.” John 13: 34-35


Almighty God here we ask You to help us live this new vital commandment every day.  We have been loved by you! This is the best gift we have ever received, guiding us into expanding the love we receive from you to others. We want to witness to the world that we are loved and we authentically love each other.  Therefore, we pray for all people to be drawn into this real and abundant life too.  How the world around us can change through the power of genuine love that originates with You.  Jesus our Savior and Redeemer because of Your life–AMEN.
