God -
You are love.
A love that births us and empowers us to know You. A love revealed to us by sending Jesus into the world. A love that commands us to love one another. A love that lives in us and is perfected in us as we love our brothers and sisters.
By the Holy Spirit, we abide in You, and You abide in us.
By our confession that Jesus is Your Son, You abide in us, and we abide in You.
May Your love fuel our lives, so we may be in this world just as You are.
In the name of our triune God whose Love seizes us and frees us to love one another, we pray.
Amen.
