For God did not send

His Son into the world 

to condemn the world,

but in order

that the world might be 

      saved through Him.

                John 3. 17

(Not to condemn,

but to love people 

       to Himself.

John 3.17 underlines

   the truth in 3.16.)

O LORD,

Help us to grasp 

   Your love for us.

Help us to live out

    Your love

 for everyone around us.

And to speak the gospel 

   in every dimension,

   every direction,

   every conversation.
