God is shown to us through Jesus. One of the reasons He does this is so that we can understand who God is and what He values. The most essential item on Jesus' heart in this prayer is clearly that we share His love for one another. Jesus comes to life in us in this way.

I want to honor You in the way I treat them and convey the love of Christ in the way I interact with them. Please bless me as I strive to be a more gracious child of Your love. In Jesus' precious name, I pray. Amen.
