February 2024 at Living Word – Loving others, Don’t stand on the outside looking in. You are invited in open the door & take the step!

     Everyone is born with the need for love. The big question is where do we find the love that we do not deserve or earn. The goal for February is for us all to discover how much God cares and loves people. We will be looking at the Bible for excellent examples of how people can follow God’s example and plan to love their neighbors as themselves.

     The greatest thing about you is also one of the most fearful things, God designed you with the ability to make choices. The choice is yours. Talk with God about how you can live, help and plan to help and love in ways God designed you to do. Have you seen the reminder that God does provide to remind you to come to His side. When I see the moon, it reminds me to reflect the Son, to Him I should serve and pray morning, night, and noon. His return could be soon. Remember it is the alignment that determines how bright you are.

February 4 What is a mother to do when a drought, famine, and hard times come. Resources were running out and hope was almost gone when it happened.  Elijah was a man called of God. A Widow cared for Elijah by sharing what little she had. Her servant’s attitude, with trust and faith, allowed her little flour and oil to meet all their needs until God allowed the rain to replenish the land. Leviticus 19:18; 1 Kings 17:1, 8-16; Matthew 5:42.

February 11 It is really possible to be Best Friends Forever when you live in the right Kingdom. Kids can develop long time friendships. Love grows in friendships. Jonathan helped protect David. Jonathan even offered David the kingship that by earthly standards was rightfully his. 1 Samuel 14:49; 18:1-4; 20. Proverbs 12:26, 16:28, 17:17, 27:10; Ecclesiastes 4:9  

February 18 It is possible. We can choose to live peacefully even when others are not kind. Isaac kept peace. He chose to be kind and love his neighbors because he knew that is what God wanted. Genesis 26:1-6,12-33. Leviticus 9:18 How do you react when someone disrupts your world and the peace and tranquility seems to be lost? Find your peace and rest in the Son.

February 25 Can you make room? Making room for people helps people in the hospitality business billions of dollars a year. They make room for you because it helps them. In the Bible we learn that some people make room just so they can help others. A couple helped Elisha 2 Kings 4:8-17; Leviticus 19:18; Romans 12:13. Kids can help assist missionaries all around the world with their praises and prayers. Psalm 8:2

Share the love – The Bible is God’s message to you. Accept God’s plan for you & experience life the way it is meant to be lived. Jesus wants us to be full members of His family. We should not wait and go to Jesus when we are desperate. We should go to Him daily for guidance and protection. Jesus is the only true answer to all our problems. He is waiting to accept you. He wants a daily relationship. How can you make that relationship grow this year?
