Heal Unhealthy Love Patterns 7-Day PlanSample

Love Others Well

"You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself."

—Matthew 22:37–39 (NKJV)

We are called by God to love others as we love ourselves. Always remember that He has a great purpose for each of us, and it connects directly to walking in love and maintaining healthy relationships. We are designed to be close to Him and to share the good news of Jesus with others so that they, too, might be close to Him. Having healthy relationships filled with love helps us to fulfill this purpose.

Healthy love patterns are based on what is true—about God, ourselves, and the people we’re connected with. For this reason, knowing the truth is at the heart of the decisions we make to guide ourselves when we’re in a relationship with someone. Awareness is a gift! As we focus on all that is good and healthy, growing daily in the Lord, we become not only healed but also healers. Fulfilling our call and being who God has called us to be is satisfying and exciting, and we will see fruit from it.

As we live this way, gaining awareness daily and allowing God’s Word to guide us into peace and love in our relationships, we can accomplish all He has called us to do. Our healthy relationships will support us as we pursue His purpose for our lives. What a blessed place to inhabit as we go about our daily routines. This is God’s best for us!

Decide today to love God with everything within you and to love others with the great and godly love He has called you to show.

Here are three Bible-based affirmations for today:

I AM united by faith with Christ and others. I AM empathetic and loving toward others. I AM filled with God’s love.

Remember, we capitalize the I AM to demonstrate our awareness that Christ in us gives us everything we need. We are nothing without Him.

We hope you enjoyed this Bible study plan and pray that you continue to find healing and restoration in your relationship with God, yourself, and others. May His glory shine more and more in your life!

To God be the glory forever and ever.
