2. “ The LORD gave me this message: “I knew you before I formed you in your mother’s womb. Before you were born I set you apart and appointed you as my prophet to the nations.” ” ( Jeremiah 1:4–5 , NLT)

3. “ You didn’t choose me. I chose you…”

4. “ You didn’t choose me. I chose you I appointed you to go and produce lasting fruit, so that the Father will give you whatever you ask for, using my name.” ( John 15:16 , NLT)

5. 6 “O Sovereign LORD,” I said, “I can’t speak for you! I’m too young!” Jeremiah 1:6 (NLT)

6. “ The LORD replied, “Don’t say, ‘I’m too young,’ for you must go wherever I send you and say whatever I tell you. And don’t be afraid of the people, for I will be with you and will protect you. I, the LORD, have spoken!”

7. Then the LORD reached out and touched my mouth and said, “Look, I have put my words in your mouth! Today I appoint you to stand up against nations and kingdoms. Some you must uproot and tear down, destroy and overthrow. Others you must build up and plant.” ” ( Jeremiah 1:7–10 , NLT)

8. “ You didn’t choose me. I chose you I appointed you to go and produce lasting fruit, so that the Father will give you whatever you ask for, using my name. This is my command: Love each other. ” ( John 15:16-17 , NLT)

9. “ Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out.

10. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance… Three things will last forever—faith, hope, and love—and the greatest of these is love. ” ( 1 Corinthians 13:4-7, 13 , NLT)

11. Lord, forgive me, for I have not loved as you love.

12. Lord, forgive me, for only valuing those who look and sound like myself.

13. Lord, forgive me, for the way I laugh at jokes that demean others.

14. Lord, forgive me, for smiling outwardly and judged inwardly.

15. And Lord, forgive me, for not trusting you as I should.

16. Lord God, fill me with your Holy Spirit, so that today, and each day, I can love with your love, significantly.
