Please pray with
me: God, thank you, for people who love us unconditionally and
unceasingly. Thank you for people who
take Your love from an intellectual concept and put words/flesh/breath/bone
into Your presence. Thank you
especially for those who love us when we cannot love ourselves. Thank you for authors and artists who add sweet
and savory spices to the recipe of relationships. God, we are an ever-changing concoction of
You, Your image surging within us, and others’ presence in our lives. At the same time, we are more than the sum of
our experiences and encounters. Your
grace tells us that one plus one doesn’t equal two, but there is a cumulative
and ever evolving dynamic to relationships. Thank you, God, for all the people
who we’ve named this week in the index of the book of love in our lives. Thank you, O God, that You who has become
known to us in real ways this week in our interactions and encounters. May our relationship with You, with
ourselves, and with others continue to be caught up in Your wisdom and will for
this world and for us. In the name of
the One who gathered twelve friends as life’s companions, Jesus the Christ.
Amen.
