Learning About Love

Comforting Verse

1 John 4:7–11 encourages us to love one another because love is from God. It explains that God showed His love for us by sending His only Son into the world so that we might live through Him. It emphasizes that love is not about us loving God, but about Him loving us and sending His Son as a sacrifice for our sins.

Self-Reflection

Have there been people in my past or present who claimed to love me but ended up hurting me?

How has this affected my ability to trust others in relationships?

How has this influenced my ability to trust God and believe in His love for me?

Steps Towards Healing and Growth

Begin to forgive those who have hurt you.

Forgive yourself for any mistakes you’ve made in relationships. Perhaps you’ve hurt someone you claimed to love, or maybe you trusted someone you shouldn’t have. You might be carrying regret for past mistakes.

Trust in God’s unconditional love (agape). Pray about these concerns and surrender them to God. Ask God for guidance, provision, protection, and assistance. As you pray, believe in God’s love for you and trust Him.

Affirmation of Faith

Recite this affirmation out loud:

I believe what the Bible says: God loves me with an everlasting love. He will never leave me or forsake me. Because of His incredible love for me, He deserves my complete trust. I commit to loving God and others with the same love that God has for me.

Prayer for Healing

Say this prayer:

"Heavenly Father, I ask You to heal my heart from the hurts of my past and present. I have been hurt by the words and actions of others. I forgive everyone who has hurt me. I also ask for Your forgiveness for the times I have hurt others. Holy Spirit, I ask You to fill me with God’s unconditional love as You heal my mind and heart. Help me confront every person and event in my life that has caused me pain. Help me recall things I have forgotten that I need to confront. Heal every aspect of my life. As You heal me, help me learn to trust and rely on You every day. I thank You for always being with me and taking care of me, even when life is difficult. I thank You for Your incredible love for me. I believe and accept this in Jesus’ Name, amen."
