Inspiration
As believers in Christ, we are called to love each other. In reality, however, it's not always as easy as it sounds. Although it is wonderful that we are all uniquely made by God, our differences can lead to much conflict and division. It's not necessary for us to agree with each other all the time, but we are called to love one another just as Jesus loves us - without discrimination, without conditions, and without exception. 
Every time we read a story from the Bible, we see Jesus show compassion and love to everyone, no matter whether they are male or female, rich or poor, healthy or sick, honorable or dishonorable. All who are weary, broken, or dying can find hope and freedom in His love - no exception. By sacrificing Himself and rising from the dead, He has shown us the power of love, and it is a love for all who believe in Him. As undeserving recipients of such abundant, life-changing love, we have a responsibility to extend it to those around us. 
Love for one another should be the basis of our daily lives as we live out our calling and bring the Good News to those whom God has placed in our path. No matter how difficult or uncomfortable it may be, let this be our call to action today. Love everyone, always.
Prayer
Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for lavishing me with your love and grace. You are the definition of true love and it's my prayer that everyone will see Your love and come to You. No matter what others do to me, please help me respond with compassion and love like You do. Forgive me for the wrongs I have done to others, and help me to forgive those who have wronged me. May You give me wisdom and discipline to obey Your commandments at all times and be a good ambassador of Yours. 
In Jesus's name I pray. Amen.
