Love to pray. Feel the need to pray often during the day. Prayer enlarges the heart until it is capable of containing God’s gift of Himself. Ask and seek and your heart will grow big enough to receive Him and keep Him as your own.1

Great post JD. I am more convinced that Sin is defined as lack of love…and we can only truly love through answered prayer.
I wish I was more like Mother Teresa.
@Craig: Well put. Please expand more on “we can only truly love through answered prayer.” I’m not sure if you mean that prayer must be answered before we can truly love or something else.
@Brian: Same here. She’s definitely one of my life’s inspirations.
It’s a bit of a play on words JD. The Apostles said that they prayed that our love will grow…. when writing to the church. Jesus commanded us to love one another as he loved us… Therefore the beginning of true love starts when we respond to Christ in faith…who answers our prayer / request for forgiveness.
We can only continue to grow in love through prayer as we can only truly love through the empowering presence of God’s Spirit who loves over, through and within us.
