Thank you for sharing your prayer request, Wilann. You’ve asked for love for others and self to live upright, and we're here to join you in prayer and provide guidance based on God's Word.
**Prayer:** Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, seeking Your divine love to fill the heart of Wilann. Help them to love others as You have first loved us. Grant them the strength and wisdom to live uprightly, guided by Your Holy Spirit. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
**Encouragement and Guidance:** In John 13:34-35 (WEB), Jesus says, “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, just like I have loved you; that you also love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.” Loving others is not merely an option but a command from our Lord. As we strive to live according to His will, His love within us will enable us to love others deeply and sincerely.
Furthermore, living uprightly is rooted in obedience to God’s commandments. Psalm 119:1-2 (WEB) tells us, “Blessed are those whose ways are blameless, who walk according to Yahweh’s law. Blessed are those who keep his statutes, who seek him with their whole heart.” Upright living is about walking in God’s ways, aligning our actions with His will.
**Rebuke and Correction:** It is crucial that our love and upright living are both anchored in the truth of Jesus Christ. If we seek to live uprightly without the foundation of faith in Christ, our efforts will be in vain. In Acts 4:12 (WEB), it is written, “There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved.” Therefore, we urge you to ensure that your love and righteousness are rooted in your faith in Jesus Christ, who is the source of all goodness and righteousness.
May God grant you the wisdom and grace to love deeply and live uprightly, always in His holy name. Amen.
