Matthew 22:36-38 English Standard Version
“Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?” And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets.”"

Genesis 1:27-30 ESV
"Genesis 1:27-30
English Standard Version
'So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.
And God blessed them. And God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” And God said, “Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit. You shall have them for food. And to every beast of the earth and to every bird of the heavens and to everything that creeps on the earth, everything that has the breath of life, I have given every green plant for food.” And it was so.

Psalm 139:13-16 English Standard Version
'For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb.
I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well.
My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them.'

Quotes I appreciate
1. Oscar Wilde '“Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.'
2. Gerard Way 'Be yourself, don’t take anything from anyone, and never let them take you alive.'
3. Dr. Seuss 'You are you. Now, isn’t that pleasant?'
4. Jim Morrison 'Where’s your will to be weird?'
5. Picasso 'When I was a child my mother said to me, ‘If you become a soldier, you’ll be a general. If you become a monk, you’ll be the pope.’ Instead I became a painter and wound up as Picasso.'

LORD I lift YOUR adopted sons and daughters who are prayer warriors and intercessors to YOU. I pray that use each one of us to intercede for an increase of selfless love throughout this nation as well as Australia, Canada, Mexico, India, Europe, Africa, Philippines, Japan, Korea, Central and South America. Let YOUR love bring the hateful to their knees in repentance. I pray that many of those consumed with rage will cry out to YOU for justice and YOU will deliver them from their hatred and bring them to confession and repentance.
I pray that each of YOUR adopted sons and daughters who are parents demonstrate love to our spouse publicly including in front on the children. I pray that parents are aware that children suspect that other children are favorites and that we do our best to demonstrate love to each one. Help us dear God to let each child know they are precious to us and YOU and their differences make them unique which is great.
I pray that each child in this nation and Australia, Canada, Mexico, India, Europe, Africa, Philippines, Japan, Korea, Central and South America is aware of love and that the vast majority are loved by family, guardians, and others. I pray that children are being raised to respect each person. Do what it takes to shake those families and groups who are biased for or against birth characteristics including gender, skin color and disabilities. Let YOUR love conquer the hatred family by family, neighborhood by neighborhood.
I pray for protection of children and other vulnerable people who the violent looters, rabid prejudiced protestors, and anarchists would be likely to injure and violate in the cities and towns in this nation and elsewhere in the world.
Thank you, LORD for YOUR Word on how precious each human being is to YOU.

By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ.
