Bible Belles: Becoming A Belle Of LoyaltySample

Devotional

"Use your superpower!  God wants to help you be loyal."

Think back to the last time someone hurt your feelings.  Maybe it was during an argument or misunderstanding.  How did you feel?

Loyalty is showing love and genuine kindness towards others, despite how you may be feeling.  It means loving others faithfully, without waiting or wanting something in return.  This is tough to do, especially when a friend hurts us or when someone is pushing us away.  It can feel a lot easier to ignore the person or do something to hurt the person back.

But you are a hero, and part of God’s plan for you is that you would love the people around you.  Friends.  Enemies.  Everyone.  No matter what.

Sounds tough, doesn’t it?  Don’t worry.  God will help you!  When you find yourself in a situation where it feels hard to love someone, you need to remember that God is love.  He is the best place to go when you need help loving the people around you.

Activity: Drawing

Draw a picture using today’s verse from Proverbs as inspiration: you, standing tall, with the words “love” and “faithfulness” tied around your neck.  Be creative!  Color it in and hang it in your room as a reminder of how God wants you to love others faithfully.  That’s what loyalty is all about.
