Dear Prayer Partner, Hope that you are having a wonderful summer. Here at the lake we are excited about family, children, grandchildren and friends who visit during July. There is cooking, eating on the porch, much laugher and occasionally a few tears which are soon wiped away with a hug and a bright colored Band-Aid.
When I watch my grandchildren interacting I am reminded of the words of Jesus in Matthew 18: become like little children [trusting, lowly, loving, and forgiving]. When we as Christians live the greatest commandment: to love the Lord our God with our entire being and our neighbor as ourselves, then the world will know that God loves them.
Praying for others is an act of love – the God-kind of love. May His will be done on earth as it is in heaven! Always, pray for the children and youths of these lands.
