In Jesus' Name, I make a fresh and strong commitment today to live the
life of love, to let the tenderness of God flow through me and heal the
wounded hearts of those I meet.

Father, teach me to love even when things go wrong. To be patient and
kind when the children are underfoot. To overlook the spiteful words of
an angry spouse. To rejoice when someone at the office gets the raise
that I thought I needed. Teach me to talk in love, to lay gossip quietly
aside and to take up words of grace instead.

Lord, Your Word says that Your love is already inside me...that it has
been shed abroad in my heart. So today, I resolve to remove every
obstacle that would keep that love from flowing freely into the lives of
others. I put resentments behind me, and I forgive all those who've done
me wrong.

In the days ahead, cause me to increase and excel and overflow with
Your love. Cause me to be what this world needs most of all...a living
example of love. Amen.
