Dear Lord,

Help me to see others as you see them and love others as you love them. Let me learn to use the fruit of the spirit when I encounter them for I know that I could be the only ounce of you that someone encounters today.

Allow me to soften my heart, soothe my speech, and reflect who You are as I perform acts of kindness, grace, mercy, and love to those around me, regardless of how I am treated. Give me an open mind and open heart Dear Lord, as I live today.

In Jesus name, Amen.
