I used to think I prayed big prayers~
…wild prayers
…outlandish prayers
…audacious prayers
…even scary prayers
But then I realized~
…the biggest
…wildest
…most outlandish and audacious
…and definitely the scariest
prayer I ever prayed is simply this:
Teach me to love
The way You love
It will take a lifetime
It will cost everything
At times, it will be harder than I can possibly fathom
But I can’t help myself
Because this Love
…this big
…wild
…outlandish
…audacious
…and yes, even scary, Love
Has captured my heart.
So Lord, please, teach me to love–the way You love.

The scariest is forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us!

Oh yes Cindy…learning to love Him first with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength, and then our neighbour as ourselves…a life long process that constantly amazes and transforms us and those around us. It’s worth all we go through during our journey of love with the One who first loved us!
