Open my heart a little wider.

Romans 15:1-7

We who are strong ought to bear with the failings of the weak and not to please ourselves. 2 Each of us should please our neighbors for their good, to build them up. 3 For even Christ did not please himself but, as it is written: “The insults of those who insult you have fallen on me.” 4 For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through the endurance taught in the Scriptures and the encouragement they provide we might have hope.

5 May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you the same attitude of mind toward each other that Christ Jesus had, 6 so that with one mind and one voice you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

7 Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring praise to God.

That's a tall order, Lord.
You know who make me cringe.
You know who I avoid.
You know who make me feel small.
You know who annoy me.

Lord, today I want to be different.
I want to look through Your eyes.
I want to listen through your ears.
I will recall Your love
for me
for them
and open my heart a little wider.
