If you haven’t tried asking a child what love means then you should do so while you still can. Their response will bring you to tears with joy or have you in tears with laughter. “Author and lecturer Leo Buscaglia once talked about a contest he was asked to judge. The purpose of the contest was to find the most caring child. The winner was a four year old child whose next door neighbour was an elderly gentleman who had recently lost his wife. Upon seeing the man cry, the little boy went into the old gentleman's yard, climbed onto his lap, and just sat there. When his Mother asked what he had said to the neighbour, the little boy said, "Nothing , I just helped him cry." (Ladan Lashkari,} Today’s passage in Psalms provides a few reasons for us to love the Lord. Let us be like Jessica age 8 who said, “You really shouldn't say 'I love you' unless you mean it. But if you mean it, you should say it a lot. People forget." (http://www.dailygood.org/story/).  Let us tell the Lord we love Him and why.

"I love the Lord, because he has heard my voice and my pleas for mercy." – Psalm 116:1 (English Standard Version)

"Jesus, I love You. I love You because You died for me and gave me life and hope. I love You because You first loved me. I love you because…. In your name, Amen."
