The Values of a Biblical WorldviewSample

Love

If you become a Lightglider, you will find out that we have three goals: to respect, rescue, and restore. We seek to respect others, rescue Gliddles, and restore the land of Glideon! Do you know why we do these things? Because these goals point to God’s love for the world. He respects, rescues, and restores us because of His great love. Love motivates each of these goals. And we want love to motivate everything we do in life. That’s why it is one of our core values.

When we love, we put the needs of others ahead of our own. Unfortunately, our selfishness will continue to try to rule our thoughts and motivations, so we need to be continually reminded to love. The best reminder to love is to think about Jesus. Remember what He did on the cross. He did that for you. And because He chose to love you when you didn’t deserve it, you can choose to love others, whether they deserve it or not.

What does it look like to love the people in your life? Do you offer words of encouragement? Do you serve, give gifts, write notes, smile, hug, share, or listen? There are lots of ways to love others. Love energizes any atmosphere.

Here are some things to do and think about today:

• What will our love do to the world?
• Why can it be difficult to love?
• What does love look like to you?
• Who has God given you to love?
• What is one way you will put the needs of others in front of your own this week?
