God Came First
"We love Him because He first loved us."1 John 4:19
Reflection
We did not start this. God loved first, before we knew anything about Him. Our love is just an answer to His.
Prayer
Father, thank You for loving me first. Amen!
Talk about it as a family
- Who started loving first, God or us?
- How is our love an answer to God's love?
- Who can you love first today?
5-minute activity
Play an echo game: the grown-up claps a rhythm and the child copies it. Talk about how our love echoes God's love. Then each person does something kind first, without waiting. Read 1 John 4:19.
