PRAYER

Dear Lord - 
	I love those who love me
		because it brings me joy.
	I love those who oppose me 
		because I am stronger for it.
	I love the beautiful
		because in them I see you.
	I love the unlovable
		because no one else will.
	I love the weak
		because they need me.
	I love the sinner
		because it is your will.
	I love myself
		because you love me.
	I love you
		because you are love.
