Become A Loving Sacrifice

Romans 12:9

“Don’t pretend that you love others, really love them! Hate what is wrong. Stand on the side of the good. Love each other with brotherly affection and take delight in honoring each other.”

When YOU LOVE GOD, that love overflows to others and produces other gifts to share with others. This passage tells us that we are to Love One Another sincerely and with all of our hearts. Yes, it is hard to love others at times. When that happens, I ask myself why? I check my heart to see if there is something blocking it.

Lord, check my Heart! Is there a weed growing inside that is cutting off my Love for others?

Have I grown cold towards others?

Am I too involved or obessessed with something that is taking my LOVE FOR YOU AND OTHERS AWAY?

PRAYER:

Lord Jesus, God of Heaven and Holy Spirit! Praise YOUR HOLY NAME ABOVE ALL NAMES!

Oh, Lord! I cry out to YOU!! Where have YOU gone? I cannot find YOU, Lord Jesus! Please come back to me. Show me how to love not just myself, but others with sincerity.

Lord, sweep away all the cobwebs and dirt out of my heart and make me clean again! Please fill me up with YOUR LOVE! Let it OVERFLOW INTO ALL AREAS OF MY LIFE! Let it overflow so that I feel LOVE spilling out into not just my life but others!

Lord, I long to feel YOU holding me close! Lord, I am sorry that I wandered off to explore other pastures! I need YOU every moment, every day, all my life!

Lord, thank YOU for chasing after me, lifting me up, and holding me close! I was lost, YOU found me, comforted me, forgave me and held me close and now I can share YOUR LOVE freely with others! AMEN!
