1 Corinthians 13:7
Love Protectors: Standing Strong in Faith, Hope, and Love
Verse Of The Day:
"It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres." (1 Corinthians 13:7)
Imagine being a strong guard protecting something very precious, like a treasure chest. That’s how love works! In 1 Corinthians 13:7, we learn that love is like a strong shield that always protects, trusts, hopes, and never gives up.
Love stands up for what’s right and helps others feel safe. When we love others, we protect them by standing by their side, just like a guard watches over something valuable. Love also means trusting others and believing the best in them, just as God trusts and believes in us.
Love doesn’t stop when things get hard. It keeps hoping, even when things aren’t going the way we expect. It perseveres, meaning it never quits, no matter what. That’s how God’s love is for us—it never stops, it never gives up, and it’s always full of hope. When we love like this, we show others the kind of strong, faithful love that God has for all of us.
Love Shield Craft:
Create a “Love Shield” at home! Cut out a large shield shape from cardboard or thick paper and decorate it with words that represent love’s protection, trust, and hope, like “Always Protects,” “Never Gives Up,” and “Always Hopes.” You can add symbols like hearts, stars, or crosses to make it colorful. Hang the shield somewhere you can see it every day to remind yourself that love is strong and never stops. This craft helps kids understand how love is like a shield that always protects and never gives up.
Time For A Prayer:
Dear God, thank You for showing us how strong and faithful Your love is. Help us to protect others with our love, to trust and hope in You, and to never give up, even when things are hard. Teach us to love the way You love us—always standing strong and full of hope. Amen.
Keep protecting and loving, Faith Force Love Protectors! Until our next Divine Dispatch, remember that love always stands strong, never gives up, and always hopes. Let’s be a shield of love for others, just like God’s love is for us!
