Almighty God, we come before you as a people of hope. We don’t all share the same hope with the possible exception of wanting to be loved. As we live into that hope, help us recognize that acts of love and words of love do not deplete us but rather the more love we give, the more there is to give. May we follow your example in this busy season, loving unconditionally and with a generous heart. We pray this in your hope-filled name. Amen.
