I believe, help my unbelief
I trust, help my doubt
I hope, take away my despair
I want, relieve my desire
I cling, help me to surrender
I love, teach me unconditional love.

1 Corinthians 13

Love is patient
Love is kind
Love is not jealous
Love does not put on airs
Love is never snobbish
Love is never rude
Love is not self-seeking
Love is not prone to anger
Love does not brood over injury
Love does not rejoice in what is wrong
Love rejoices in the truth
There is no limit to love's forbearance, to its trust, its hope, its power to endure.
Love never fails.
There are in the end three things that last,
faith, hope, and love.
And the greatest of these is love.

Dear Jesus, I love You.
I need you; please hear my prayer.
Be with me always, in Your tender care.
With You I won't be lonely,
I won't want for anything.
I always want you with me,
so now my heart will sing.

Jesus, I'm so sorry,
when I turn away.
Thinking that the things I do
might just be the way,
that You would have me live my life,
but I know it's true.
Only if I look to You,
will I know what to do.

I hold to all Your promises;
You won't abandon me.
Only lessons will I learn
that You want me to see.
Growing closer to You,
each and every day.
Know I love You Jesus.
In Your Name I pray. Amen

Thank You for Your love for me, dear Jesus.

Psalm 63: 5
"Thus will I bless You while I live; lifting my hands, I will call upon Your Name."

Lord, help me to remember that it is only through You that anything is possible in my life. When I try to do things the way I think they should be done, I find myself floundering in my own confusion. I need You, Lord, in all areas of my life. Don't abandon me to my pride, ego, or desires. Show me the right way, the way You would have me go; in this I know I will be serving the purpose You put me on this earth for.
In Your Name, Jesus, I ask." Amen

Sirach 33: 7, 11
" Why is one day more important than another,
when it is the sun that lights up every day."
Yet, with His great knowledge, the Lord makes men unlike;
in different paths He has them walk."

It is us who need to make the difference in the choices we make, the most important choice to choose good over evil, right over wrong, love over hate and compassion and caring over disinterest. We can be a light to the world. We have only to care. PTL

Love is the essence of all that we are. With love, there is joy; with love, there is peace. When you love, you experience the ultimate of human feelings. Love sustains all and allows for all that is good. God is love. All power comes through God who loves us and allows for us to love each other. When there is love, all other needs diminish in perspective. Embrace love. Become one with Love. Be love. ~m~ PTL
