I want to be a reflection of His love

I know I am not even close to His reflection but I want to keep on saying that, like a mantra, to remind me of how I want to live my life. I am going to start keeping those words in my heart. I am determined from now on to persevere, to live a life that reflects His love. I know I am not doing a good job imitating Him because honestly it is really hard to imitate His compassion, patience, forgiveness, love and faith.

so I pray..

Lord, it has always been my desire to be like You, to show love and to serve Your people in any way that You want me to; guide me, use me and hold me tight whenever I am shaken with trials. Forgive me if at times I can't control myself, my disappointments, my frustrations and anger. Forgive me if I dislike some people; touch my heart and take the negative feelings away. Teach me to love and see people the way You see them.

Lord; may my actions, my thoughts and the words that I speak reflect my love for You.

                                            Amen. <3
