That's love." I think that really says it all, don't you?ĭear Father, we thank you for loving us even when we did not deserve it. Sincere love means taking off your mask and daring to reveal. "God could have said magic words to make the nails fall off the cross, but He didn't. The sad result is that the two real people never meet.
You know that list of answers that children gave to the question, "What is love?" Well, here is one more. The Bible says, "God showed how much he loved us by sending Jesus to die for us, even though we were sinful." Wow! That's real love! God loved us so much that He sent His Son to die for us even though we did not deserve it. God not only told us what love is, he showed us. If I were to ask you to tell me what love is, what would your answer be? (Give time for responses from the children if time permits.) I think if we really want to know what love is, the best place to find the answer is in the Bible.
"Love is when my mommy makes coffee for my daddy and she takes a sip before giving it to him, to make sure the taste is OK." Danny - age 7 But unfortunately, if we have misunderstood what love is, we will surely misunderstand who God is. Every Christian, and indeed many non-Christians, can agree on that. "Love is when your puppy licks your face even after you left him alone all day." -Mary Ann, age 4 The very title, Deus Caritas Est, states a fundamental truth of the Christian faith: God is love (1 Jn 4:16).
