Hello ,
A group of children were once
asked, "What does 'love' mean?" Here are some sample answers:
- Rebekah, 8, said, "When my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn't bend over and paint her toenails anymore. So my grandfather does it for her all the time-even when his hands got arthritis, too. That's love."
- Billy,
4, said, "When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different. You just know that your name is safe in their mouth."
- Bobby,
7, says, "Love is what's in the room at Christmas, if you stop opening presents and listen."
- Nikka,
6, says, "If you want to learn to love better, you should start with someone you hate."
- Tommy,
6, says, "Love is like a little old woman and a little old man who are still friends even after they know each other so well."
- Cindy,
8, says, "During my piano recital, I was on a stage, and I was scared. I looked at all the people watching me, and I saw my daddy waving and smiling. He was the only one doing that. And I wasn't scared anymore."
- Jessica, 8, says, "You really shouldn't say 'I love you' unless you mean it. But if you mean it, you should say it a lot."*
There are so many ways to show
others that we love them. God has something that is near and dear to His heart as well, and He explains who we can demonstrate our love for Him. check out this verse:
"If you love me, keep my
commandments." John 14:15
We will definitely need His help
to truly be able to make this happen, but God has promised to give us what we need for that too.
Have a great day and God
bless!
