b'When I wake up in the morning Let each breath be love When I go out and aboutLet my actions spread your love When I come home againLet me love those around me When life gets hardLet your love surround me When others hurt meLet me respond with love When I am scaredLet your love comfort meWhen I lie down at nightLet me know that I am held in love \\u2022 Emily Acker\\u2022 Love is a defining mark of Christianity. When Jesus came, He revealed God\\u2019s wonderful love for the world (John 3:16). If we\\u2019ve put our trust in Jesus, we are held securely in His love. And because we are His followers, our lives should be centered around loving God and loving others (Matthew 22:37-40). Why do you think love is so important to God? \\u2022 Have you ever made an attempt to live in a more loving way? While this is a great thing to do, it\\u2019s important to remember that we can\\u2019t do it in our own strength and wisdom. Jesus said, \\u201cApart from me you can do nothing.\\u201d And so He calls us to remain in His love (John 15:4-5, 9). How might resting in Jesus\\u2019s love for us help us act lovingly toward others? And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.
