Let’s Talk About Bullying: Recognizing Our Value and the Value of Others.

DAY 5 OF 7

When I was in middle school, I was bullied by many people for the way my voice sounded and the way I dressed. It hurt me a lot. I always wondered why they couldn’t just be nice. Is it that hard? This verse is in a letter that Paul wrote to the Philippians. He mentions one word over and over again: love. Paul doesn’t mean love as just a feeling, but a love that is active and obvious in how people treat one another. Paul wanted the Philippians to grow by not only loving others but by loving others well. So what does this mean for your own life? It might be as easy as recognizing that everyone on this Earth is important, and that means that we all need that love that Paul writes about, especially when it comes to bullying. Whether you are getting bullied or you are the bully, we are all important and loved in the eyes of God, so we should “not only love much but well. “So here’s my challenge for you:

This week, find someone in your school or home and serve them. As you do, remember that we should not only love others but love them well.
