Holy God,
You define love. Whenever we love something in this world, we are only living in a pale imitation of your pure love, and yet even that imitation can be powerful. We can love one another, through thick and thin, pouring ourselves out for others. We can love this planet, this amazing place you have created, filled with wonder and awe. We can love joy and laughter and peace and hope, and in our acts of love we display shards of the full picture of your love.
Teach us to love freely, and as we do so, may we stop and be amazed that even in the greatest acts of human love, your love is greater still.
Amen
