Today’s Story

Haley, Brooke and their Mom are setting off on a great adventure!  The lessons and activities are interesting, but all Haley can think about is a mysterious letter from a “secret admirer”.  And when the car breaks down, everyone’s faith is put to the test.

 

How about you…

Have you ever had a secret admirer?  Have you ever BEEN a secret admirer?  Do you think God has anything to say about love and relationships?

 

Check this out…

What should love look like for the Christian?  Well, the fifth chapter of the book of Galatians in the New Testament gives us these words:

 

“You, my brothers, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the sinful nature; rather, serve one another in love. The entire law is summed up in a single command: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’”

 

Selflessness is the key to really showing love to someone.  Not seeking some kind of thrill for ourselves (whether it’s a physical thrill or an emotional one), but truly serving others and giving of ourselves.  That’s the kind of love Jesus showed His followers and that He wants His followers to show to each other.  Remember, they will know we are Christians not by our romance or our physical affection, but by our LOVE.
