An Advent Prayer on Love

Lord, thank You for loving us so much that You gave Your Son for us, even before we loved You.
Thank You for inviting us into Your family.
For all of us who are brothers and sisters in faith, please help us to love one another in perfect harmony.
Father, please help us to see every person the same way that You see them.
Help us to love them the way that you love them — even when they don’t love us back.
Please show us how to walk continually in Your love, that perfect love which casts out fear.
We love you, Lord.
Amen.
