How we treat one another reflects our true worship of God. We need to leave our gift at the altar and reconcile with each other. It is time to turn our hearts towards each other. It is not important how others receive our love but for us to love. We are to known as a people who love, without expecting love and acceptance from others. This is worship that pleases God. It is easy to love someone who believes and acts like you do. It is another thing to show love and forgiveness towards those whose value system is different.
Daddy God, soften our hearts of stone and give us your heart for others. Burn everything in our hearts that are not of you. We answer the call to show mercy towards those whom we do not approve or like. You told us to extend mercy, if we are to receive mercy. Mercy shown begins with those whom we dislike. This is true worship.
We become a burning sacrifice on the altar, as we love and show mercy, to those with whom we vehemently disagree. Daddy God, we ask that the holiness of your fire burns the dross from our hearts. We ask that you fill our hearts with your love and teach us how to love like you love.
In your Son Jesus’ wonderful name,
Amen
