The Stone

God teaches me to love others not for what they give me, but for who they are.

Ripple One: Practical

Today, I will care for others without expecting them to meet my needs or repay my kindness. Real love seeks another person’s good without keeping a record of what is received in return. That kind of love brings freedom to both giver and receiver.

Ripple Two: Spiritual

As I follow Christ’s example of self-giving love, the Holy Spirit teaches my heart to care without fear, control, or selfish ambition. The Father’s love for me becomes the pattern for loving others with grace, patience, and genuine concern.

Prayer

Father God, teach me to love as You have loved me. Through Your Holy Spirit, free me from selfish motives and fill my heart with genuine compassion. Shape me through the example of Jesus. Amen.
