For February 15 -- Love LAnguages

PRAYER FOR & ASSURANCE OF GRACE
God who is love, you pour your love into our world.
And you ask us to keep pouring it, spreading it wherever we go.
God who created a wildly diverse world,
you ask us to use our different ways of communicating to spread love in the world.
And yet, there are times,
times when we fail to speak so the other can understand,
times when we miss what is being said because the language is not what we would use.
God who speaks in many ways,
Open our ears and eyes, hearts and souls, that we can catch the message of love that is being shared.
...time of silence...
The music of love beautifies our world. The actions of love build up our world. The varied languages of love enrich our world. God gives us the wisdom and the grace to share love in many ways so that the world learns to love as God first loves us.
Thanks be to God. Amen.
