Heavenly Father:

Thank You for loving me and showing me the greatest example of love through Your Son. I pray that the same love You showed me will always be reflected in the words I speak and the actions I take. And thank You, Father, for the care You take in giving us Your most perfect and unique gifts. Please help me use those gifts for Your glory and to be an encouragement to others. And may I always point those around me to Jesus.

In His precious name I pray, Amen
