Some people are hard to love. And those relationships require extra grace! Learn from these five real examples of how God’s people have loved as Christ loves. May God’s Word and these real stories of children around the world change how you view people and how to show love to them.

Loving Those Who Are Hard To Love

How do you show love to others?  The theme of these guided biblical meditations is a reflection on the love of God and choosing to show His love to the world.  Choosing to love is difficult with so much evil in the world, but I pray these meditations will help you decide to love God and pay His love forward. Embrace Jesus’ example of humility and show it to others.

Choosing to Love

Do you learn more effectively by hearing, feeling, or doing? I pray these meditations will help you reflect on how to come to know the love of God actively. Knowing God by vigorously giving and living as Christ gave and lived. Not only noticing the needs of others but energetically giving and loving. Living your life listening to God and playing an active role in being His chosen.

In John 16:16-33, Jesus takes the disciples through the reality of his departure and the grief they will experience. Jesus compares their confusion and grief to childbirth pains that are soon forgotten because of the joy of receiving a baby.
