God's Love is Patient

Theme: God’s love…is patient

Play: Tell your kids that you are going to start your family devotional.  When everyone is gathered, sit and wait. If you would like, you can start pestering your kids (here is your chance!).  See how they respond.

Relay: Did you think that we were NEVER going to start the devotional?  You might have wanted to leave and go do something else.  First Corinthians 13:4 says that love is patient. When we say that God’s love is patient, it means that there is nowhere else that He would rather be than with you.  We sometimes disobey God, but He loves us so much that He waits for us to turn back to Him.  He will never leave us! What is a way you have seen God be patient with you?

Obey:

How can you be patient with others?

What does it mean to you that God's love is patient?

Why is it hard to be patient with other people?

What strategies can you use to act more patiently towards others?

Pray: Thank God for His patience He has for you.
