Gracious God. How much You have done for me, especially when I was ungrateful and wicked in my heart. Thank You for that grace, demonstrated on the cross, which enables me to benefit from Your love. Forgive me when I have limited my love to those who can repay me, and when I have forgotten how much wicked and ungrateful people need to experience Your kindness through me. Please help me to abandon the logic of self-interest and to embrace Your command to give without expecting any return, other than knowing that I am doing Your will. In Jesus' Name. Amen.
