Pray that love would be your highest aim.
Pray that you will know the love of Christ through faith and you would display that love through action. Pray that the love of God would fill your heart with compassion for the lost.
Love never fails.
—1 Corinthians 13:8
In this simple, yet profound statement, the Apostle Paul gives us the formula for the Christian life.
Jesus commands us to love one another, and in this the world will know that we are His disciples:
This is My commandment, that you love one another, just as I have loved you.
—John 15:12
By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.
—John 13:35
It is the love of God that draws people to repentance (Romans 2:4) and it is the love of Christians toward our fellow men that will help them see Jesus through us. Let us pray today that God will fill us with love for Him and love for our fellow man
—
for these are the greatest commandments.

...that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height -- 19 to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. —Ephesians 3:17-19
