Friend

16 July: Tuesday Refocus

"Ever-loving God, who having loved us loves us still, help us to hear again your word, 'By this shall they know you are my disciples; that you love one another." Turn our hostility into hospitality and our callousness into care. Through Christ, we pray. Amen.” - A Guide to Prayer for All God’s People

Forgiveness and love go hand in hand (Luke 7:47). If enemies of God can be welcomed as friends, and called family - what a small thing it is for us to love one another (Colossians 1:21, John 15:15, 1 Peter 2:9-10)?

Father, may we as your children show how much you have loved and forgiven us by loving and forgiving one another. In Christ’s name, and the Spirit’s power, amen.

Amen,
