Love Well

guidance • Sunday, December 28, 2025

God of love, I want to love the people in my life well, but I often fall short. I'm impatient when I should be kind. I'm distracted when I should be present. I'm defensive when I should be humble. Help me to love like You love—generously, patiently, and without keeping score. Teach me to listen more than I speak, to understand before I'm understood, to forgive as I've been forgiven. Help me to see the people around me through Your eyes—not as obstacles or inconveniences, but as beloved children of God, worthy of dignity and respect. When relationships are easy, help me to be grateful. When they're hard, help me to persevere. And in all things, let love be my guide. Thank You for loving me so well, and for teaching me how to love others.
