This simple statement is sufficiently elementary for the youngest child to understand, and yet so lofty that human's combined wisdom is unable to scratch the surface of its true meaning, or plumb the depth of its wider significance. It stings the conscience of every human. It convicts the attitudes of humanity. It challenges the godliest saint and forever condemns the human race. But this unreachable goal is the impossible command given to all believers, and it not only applies to the natural loving kinship within the inner nucleus of beloved companions and best-loved family members, but the beggar in the street, the thieving politician, the accusatorial religionist, the enemy at the gate, the scoffer of our faith, and those that despise, reject, hate and persecute us. Every action and every attitude, every word and every work, each thought of the heart, each decision of the mind and even the motives that influence the choices we make, need to be Bathed In The Purifying Gaze Of The Holy Spirit, washed in the fountain of God's love and covered with the unconditional grace of Christ, Who for love of His church went to the cross willingly - so that like Him, everything we do, may be done through HIM - in LOVE. Let all that you do be done with love. Our United Prayer:
Loving Father, we confess that in our own strength, it is impossible for us to carry out all that we say and do in love, but we know that it is possible in the strength and power of the Spirit of love. You have promised to pour Your love through us to others, so that we may love others as Christ loved us. Use us to be vessels of love in the lives of all we meet today, knowing that it is Christ that loves through us. In Jesus’ name we pray, AMEN.

We are a growing group of people praying daily for and with others. We were led to start an online ministry to deliver what is needed more now than ever, a place where you can go to easily to submit a prayer request or requests involving others to pray for your needs. The Power of Prayer. Matthew 18:20- For where two or more come together in my name, there I am among them. You are never alone in prayer. The Power Of Numbers Praying.
We ask you to pray for this ministry, for its success in helping others in need of prayer. Archives
