Introduction
Let us talk about something really special “Showing Love: Be a Light in the World.” It’s like being a mirror that reflects the love we get from God. Let’s see why this is important and how it can make our lives and the world better.
Where Love Comes From
Love comes from God. He loves us a lot, and His love is big and never-ending. When we understand how much God loves us, we can share that love with others.
Bible Verse: “God is love, so if we know Him, we can love others too.” – 1 John 4:7-8
Sharing God’s Love with Friends
In our families and with our friends, we can show God’s love by being kind, forgiving, and helping each other. When we love the way God loves us, it shows that we follow Jesus.
Bible Verse: “Jesus says we should love others just like He loves us. When we do that, people will know we are His friends.” – John 13:34-35
Doing Things to Help Others
Love is not just words; it’s also doing things to help. When we help others without expecting anything back, we show God’s love in action. Jesus showed love by helping, and we can do the same.
Bible Verse: “God wants us to help each other. When we do, it’s like we’re showing love to Him.” – Galatians 5:13
Loving Even When Things Are Hard
Sometimes, things get tough, and people might not be nice. But God’s love helps us respond with love, even when it’s hard. When we choose love over being upset, it’s like a bright light in the dark.
Bible Verse: “When things are tough, we can choose to be kind and show love. That’s how we beat the bad things with good.” – Romans 12:21
Saying Sorry and Forgiving
Sometimes, we make mistakes, and so do others. Saying sorry and forgiving is like showing God’s love. Just like God forgives us, we can forgive others. It’s a way to make things better.
Bible Verse: “Forgiving others is like giving them a second chance. God forgives us, and we can do the same for others.” – Ephesians 4:32
Showing Love in Everything We Do: Our actions, words, and how we treat others show God’s love. It’s not just talking about love; it’s doing things that show we really care. When we do this, we become a light that shines God’s love for everyone to see.
Conclusion
Let’s remember to be like mirrors, reflecting God’s love in everything we do. When we understand where love comes from, share it with our friends and family, help others, love even when it’s hard, say sorry and forgive, and show love in everything we do, we become lights in the world. Through our actions, we can make the world a better and brighter place. Amen.
