Hands-on Faith for Families– week of August 13, 2018
Theme:Be Faithful, Because God Is Faithful
God’s Love Is Faithful
Scripture:For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 8:38, 39)
Play:For one full day, try to treat others well. The “others” should be your family and everyone else around you. Do your best to keep from becoming upset, impatient or annoyed, regardless of what others do or how they treat you.
Talk:Proverbs 20:6 questions whether anyone has unfailing love as God does. It asks, “But a faithful man who can find?” Then throughout the Old Testament, writers constantly praise the faithfulness of God’s love. As a believer, God helps you be more consistent in your relationships with others because of His faithfulness. You may not be able to perfectly love others by yourself, but God empowers you to more faithfully love others.
Pray:Tell God how you intend to consistently treat others well, but sometimes don’t. Thank God for His unfailing love and ask Him to help you love better.
