The Lord’s Day
O God,
“God is love,” your Book tells us.
Since you are love, let our worship of you today be motivated by our love for you that is our response to your love for us. Let your love for us, the reality and nature of which are seen most clearly in the life, death, and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ, inspire us to praise you in worship today and to praise you through our service to others during the coming week.
We praise you today because the fact that you are love means that you love us.
We praise you today because the fact that you are love means that we can love you.
We praise you today because the fact that you are love means that we can love each other.
We praise you today because the fact that you are love means that we can love those who don’t love us.
We praise you today because the fact that you are love means that we can show our love for others in the way that you showed your love for us—by giving ourselves away in radically sacrificial ways.
Amen.
