Reflection

“Children, let us love not in word or speech but in deed and truth.” –1 John 3:18

Prayer

Love above all,

We are all conscientious of the damage done by hypocrisy, in our religious traditions as well as our own lives. For we are easily tempted to confuse our talk about our values and beliefs with how we are, or are not, concretely living them out each and every day. As we partner with you today, to extend your love and compassion to those in need, help us to show them true and sincere love above all else in the actions we take to reveal your compassionate heart. With gratitude that you are ever true in your love towards us, we pray. Amen.

Call to Action

Is there any hint of hypocrisy in my life? Make a new commitment today to make sure that my actions align with my deepest held values and that I am embodying the truth I believe.
