If only you had paid attention to my commandments! Your peace would have been like a river, and your justice would have been like the waves of the sea (Isaiah 48:18; CPDV).
I pray for justice, and for peace,
So all our selfish wars will cease.
I pray for kindness, help and care
In every heart, so all will share.
I pray that we will live as friends,
So all abuse and conflict ends.
I pray for truth and joy to flood
Each soul, so all will live in love.
May the Lord make your love increase and overflow for each other and for everyone else (1 Thessalonians 3:12; NIV).
No one has ever seen God. But if we love each other, God lives in us, and his love is brought to full expression in us (1 John 4:12; NLT).
