Dearest God,

How can we grow our love for you? What can we do to more fully open the doors of our hearts to you?

As I lay in bed, the night skies still dark in the early morning hours, I wondered how our human love could multiply so that our devotion, our affection, and our care for one another could increase. I thought about how my own thoughts, my attitudes, and my dedication to loving service could enlarge so that I would get more in rhythm with you. As long as I walk my own path without benefit of a greater relationship to you, I shall never truly follow you, allowing you to fulfill your will in my life. If we all do that, I am confident that our world will not grow more loving and kind, more charitable to our neighbor, and more supportive in making our world a better place in which to live and love.

Grow your love
in me,
O God;
make me
more loving.
Bend my will
to yours,
I pray.

Love, Andrea
