Dear God,

There are some moments when love grows strong between my husband and me. When I think I love him all I can, I find myself loving him more. I believe he feels the same way.

When love grows tired and my vessel seems nearly empty, I turn to you for filling because I simply do not have the energy to renew my own source. Suddenly my sides expand and I am full. Your infilling power astounds me again and again.

I have been empty. I have been full. The difference is when I deplete my vessel of life-giving love, I can always count on you.

Grow in me,
O Lord,
let your love
grow in me.
Let it flow
out of me
to others,
I pray.

Love, Andrea
