WHAT HELPS YOU LOVE OTHERS WELL?

about loving others well
when you were young?

QUOTES FROM OUR CHURCH
• “God is our source of love and the wisdom to know how to reach
the person, and He wants us to convey that to others.” (JA)
• “Get close to God, learn how to recognize His voice, His way of
communication with/to you.” (JA)
• “The more you pray for someone, the more you will love them.”
I have found that to be true. If you are having a problem loving
someone, start praying for them more and ask the Lord to show
you something about them. (SH)

4. A WIN-WIN RECIPE FROM HEAVEN
THE SECRET TO LOVING OTHERS WELL
• When God satisfies our heart the most, we love others very well
• The most loving thing we can do to love our spouses, our children,
our parents or our friends is to love and enjoy God more than we
love and enjoy them.
• God is the source of all true love. God is Love! (1 John 4:8)
• The human heart that is in love with God is full of love for others.
• The opposite is also true.
• The root of not loving people well is a defective relationship
with God

5. IF GOD IS NOT THE LOVE OF OUR LIFE,
THERE IS NO WAY THAT WE WILL TRULY
LOVE OUR NEIGHBOR AS OURSELVES.
FOR WE WILL LOVE OURSELVES
SUPREMELY.
