Loving Others
At Onward & Upward weekend retreat a few weeks ago, we all learned about loving others (even our enemies). This stretches us out of our comfort zone and challenges us to love those who don’t look like us, act like us, or talk like us. Join us in giving thanks to our God who created us all in His image, each of us unique and different.
God,
You created all people in your image. We thank you for the astonishing variety of races and cultures in this world. Enrich our lives by widening our circles of friendships, and show us your presence in those who differ most from us. Make perfect our knowledge of Your love for us and for all of your children through Jesus.
Amen.
