A Scripture and a Prayer: “God’s Great Love Revealed”

“But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners.” (Romans 5:8)

Prayer:

Lord, You revealed Your wonderful and unconditional love when You sent Your Son, Jesus, to take our place and die the death we deserve for our sins. May we never take such a love for granted seeing not only how much You gave in giving Your Son, but how much Jesus Himself went through, giving His life upon the cross for us. But now, even more, help us find within ourselves that same unconditional love to share with others as You have commanded, in how we are to love You with the whole of who we are, but also to love others in that same way. So, I thank You Lord for the great love You have revealed not only to us, but to this world. AMEN
