Dear God, Heavenly Father, all glory to Your Essence; by Your grace, I am awake to experience Your blessings in and on my life, Hallelujah thank You for waking me up and for giving me another day to Love You and experience Your beauty. I give You praise for the people around me; cause me to minister to them with my actions and words. Your word in Mark 12:30-31 says, “You shall Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength. And you shall l/Love your neighbor as yourself.” God, help me give You all of me today, not just what’s leftover after I’ve handled everything else. Help me Love the people I encounter today, even the ones who are hard to l/Love. Remind me that how I treat others says a lot about how much I really Love You. Thank You for Loving me first and showing me what real Love looks like. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
