Lord,
Help me to love like Jesus. Because it’s hard. Lately, it’s gotten harder to love my peers. Even my best friends have become harder and harder to love. I’m so selfish. My own desires have taken over my willingness to be used and cultivated by your word. I can’t be a light if I can’t even find the will to treat others as Jesus did. They claim it’s human nature, that you should make sure your life is put together and everything is great before you should worry about those around you, but that is such a lie. I’m tired of people telling me that I need to focus on myself and work hard to succeed in this life that’s so temporary when I want to serve. Not by pointing out people’s faults, but by taking the action and initiative to love even when it’s difficult. By showing instead of just telling. This is my cry, this is what I ask for. Help me to have one thing and one thing only to give, to not label people like the world does by label them like you would. Help me to start a chain reaction of compassion and hope, because we’re running kind of low on that now. I want to make a change for your glory, an impact in your name. I only have one life here on this Earth, so help me not to waste it. Your plans are too great for me to waste it.
Amen.
