Loving in Action: Helping Those in Need

Welcome, Faith Force Love Action Heroes! Today, we’re learning about how true love means helping others, especially those in need, as shared in 1 John 3:17-18.

Verse Of The Day:

"If anyone has material possessions and sees a brother or sister in need but has no pity on them, how can the love of God be in that person? Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth." (1 John 3:17-18)

Imagine having a lot of toys, food, or clothes, but seeing a friend who has none. Wouldn’t it be loving to share what we have to help them? 1 John 3:17-18 reminds us that love isn’t just about saying kind things—it’s about showing it through our actions. When we help others, we reflect God’s love in a real and tangible way.

Loving others means not only feeling sorry when they are in need but taking action to help. Whether it’s sharing a snack, offering a hand, or showing kindness, we can live out our love by serving those around us. The love of God fills our hearts, and when we show that love to others, we bring joy and peace to the world.

Let’s live out the love of God by helping those in need and being kind to everyone around us, reflecting His heart in everything we do.

Helping Hands Craft:

Create handprint shapes on paper with the words “Love in Action” written on a single-line banner. On each hand, write ways to help others, such as “Share,” “Give,” and “Comfort.” Decorate the hands with bright colors and use them to remind yourself to show love through actions.

Time For A Prayer:

Dear God, thank You for teaching us to love others with our actions. Help us to see the needs around us and take steps to help those in need. Fill our hearts with Your love, and help us share it with everyone we meet. Amen.

Keep showing love in action, Faith Force Love Action Heroes! Until our next Divine Dispatch, remember that true love is shown through our actions, not just words. Let’s love and serve others every day!
