A prayer that made me think
Lord Jesus, I think I might have overlooked too many people. I might have avoided people you love: • people who have a bad reputation • people who are irritating or ill-tempered • people who are from a different social background to me • people who look untidy or smell unclean • people who embarrass me • people who disagree with me Forgive me for receiving your abundant love and then failing to share it. And then improve my eyesight. So that when I see others I can see how much you love them. And then join in with your love. Give me the courage today to open a conversation with someone I have previously avoided. So that the glory of your love is seen a fraction more in my life. Amen |
