Dear Lord,
You have set the highest standard. In Jesus Christ we find a man who was able to live perfectly by the law of love. Everything he did was governed by love--his motives were pure, his actions perfect. He loved you and his neighbors without blame. He sought to serve each individual he met, through healing and forgiving and merely spending time with them. He loved to his own death.
May I seek the same. While I will never achieve this, may I not be afraid to seek to love without abandon, taking every necessary risk so that I am filled with love. May love light my path, guide my feet, and encourage me to spend time with those whom I might otherwise pass by.
Amen.
