Loving father,
Teach us to love as You love; showing no favor or preference, giving grace after grace.
May we be a people who love first; before fixing, before judging, and before making excuses.
Let us be known for our radical love; not just of “our own” but of all people.
We are forever grateful for Your loving example of loving us.
Amen
