Lord,
You call us to love You - and to love our neighbour. Help us never to
think that we can grow in our love for You if we are not also learning
to love our neighbour with the love that You give to us. Help us never
to forget You. Help us always to rejoice in the love that You have for
us - and to let Your love shine out through us to others. May our love
for our neighbour never become a substitute for loving You.
You call us, Lord, to return to You. You promise to welcome us (2 Chronicles 30:9). Where does our returning come from? Where does our rejoicing come from? They both come from You. You put it into our hearts - to return to You (2 Chronicles 30:12). What joy there is for us when we return to You - "The good Lord pardons every one who sets his heart to seek God" (2 Chronicles 30:18-19).
