Jesus Frees You To Love
TALKING TO GOD
Ask God to help you receive His love so that you can show that love to others.
DIVING IN
Place a small clear glass in a shallow bowl. Pretend you are the empty glass and the bowl represents the people in your life. Fill a pitcher with water. Pretend that the pitcher is God and the water represents God’s love. As you pour water from the pitcher into the glass, think about the love that God pours into you. Continue pouring water from the pitcher until it spills over the sides of the glass, filling the bowl.
GOING DEEPER
The Bible says in 1 Thessalonians 3:12, “...may the Lord make you increase and abound in love for one another and for all, as we do for you”. Just as the water filled the glass and overflowed into the bowl, God promises that He will give you so much love that it will overflow, and you will be able to love others. Because your love from God is more than enough, you are free to love everyone around you with the “overflow”.
TALKING TO EACH OTHER
- Will God’s love for you ever run out?
- How does God’s love help you love others?
- What are some ways you can show God’s love to others?
