CHRISTIAN LOVE

Watercolor by Wanda, "Sharing God's Love"

Oh Lover of my Soul, Order all my ways by thy holy Word and make thy commanments the joy of my heart, that by them I may have happy converse with thee.

May I grow in thy love and manifest it to mankind.

Spirit of love, make me like the loving Jesus; give me his benevolent temper, his beneficent actions, that I may shine before men to thy glory.

The more thou doest in love in me and by me, humble me the more; keep me meek, lowly, and always read to give you honor.

Prayer taken from "The Valley of Vision" (Prayers of the Puritans)
