Praying from Ephesians 5:2 relating to Love, Sacrifice, Redemption.

Dear Lord, help me to walk in love just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as an offering and sacrifice to you. May my life be a sweet-smelling fragrance to you, and may I always strive to love others as you have loved me. Thank you for your endless grace and mercy. Amen.

Verse: Walk in love, even as Christ also loved us and gave himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling fragrance.
Ephesians 5:2

This is a Command. The verse commands the reader to “walk in love” as Christ did, by sacrificing oneself for others as an offering to God.
