I Want to Want to…

We love because he first loved us.—I John 4:19 (ESV)

St. Teresa of Avila prayed this honest prayer, “Oh God, I don’t love you, I don’t even want to love you, but I want to want to love you!” There may be times when you feel upset or want to turn away from Him. But even in those moments, it is best to go to Him for help. To ask Him to help you grow closer to Him.

Heavenly Father, may my love for You grow more and more every day.
