But now, O Jacob, listen to the Lord who created you. O Israel, the one who formed you says, “Do not be afraid, for I have ransomed you. I have called you by name; you are mine.
Isaiah 43:1
Hatred stirs up quarrels, but love makes up for all offenses.
Proverbs 10:12
This is real love—not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins.
Dear friends, since God loved us that much, we surely ought to love each other.
1 John 4:10-11
Loving Creator, when we turn away from love, remind us of our call as your people: to love one another; to care for our neighbor. Give us the courage to love boldly in the face of a world brimming with discontent. Help us love one another well. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
