Daily Prayer for February 11th, 2019
Good Monday morning, God—thank You! 🙂
You love people so much, You gave Your only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. I believe You, God! Thank You for Your agape love. You are love! Your two greatest commands now are to love You with all our hearts and love our neighbor as ourselves. All the Law and the Prophets hang on those two commandments. Therefore, it is my duty as a Christian to love. Holy Spirit, help me to walk sincerely in Your love, loving You and others the way that You love me. In Jesus name. Amen.

For he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.
