“For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything, but faith working through love” (Galatians 5:6).

What is important?  We often are caught up in doing what we think is important, when the Lord has already told us He wants us to love Him and one another.  Have you been caught up in legalism?  Have you worried about what you are or are not doing?  Leave those things behind and come into the grace of Christ and live the love He asks for us to live.  Come then in trust and obedience.

Lord, teach me to love that I may not be caught up in the insanity of this age which is always doing evil and then denying You.  Guide me away from the wrangling of what I should or should not be doing and into the love You have given me.  Lead me in the way of love that I would now and always abide in You and You in me.  Lord, You know what I need.  Help me to come into Your love.

Lord Jesus, You are the way and life.  You have come to set us free from the impossible, to live with not only what is possible, but what will be in eternity.  Guide me, O Lord, in the way of love and teach me how to live life in the freedom You grant by faith.  Help me, O Lord, to become whom You are making me to be.  Guide me in the way of life both now and forever.  Amen.
