Love doesn’t just apply to one aspect of your life or one person in your life.
Talking Points:
- Love is elevating others above oneself. Love should not be limited to words. Actions show true love. It’s easy to say you love someone, but truly loving them is shown through consistent practice of compassion.
- Without love, you can’t have real relationships with people. By loving other people, you make them feel valuable, and hopefully they’re return the favor!
- To be more loving, pay attention what the other person needs, give freely without expecting anything in return and discover the love language of the other person and start loving them in their language.
Discussion:
- Initial reactions to this topic? What jumped out at you?
- Who are some people in your life who are great at expressing their love for you? Why are they good at expressing it? How can you copy this and become more loving yourself?
- Why does loving others require sacrifice and intentionality?
- Would others consider you a loving person? Why or why not? Explain.
- What’s your “love language” (how do you express love)? Why can you be a better friend by learning the love language of your friends?
- Is there a step you need to take based on today’s topic?
