Look up Proverbs 3:13 in your bible.
Pray about Proverbs 3:13 and ask God what he is saying to you through the scripture.

Maybe your friends aren't allowed to watch a certain t.v. show because their parents don't allow it. You see, we all act certain ways because of the influences on our lives. I'm sure you are exactly the same way.
We should seek to understand those that we love. We should seek to learn as much about them as possible so that we can love them even more.
Your Challenge: Ask your mom or dad if they would be willing to sit down with you today and discuss the following questions with them.

Love Dare For Elementary Students - Day Number 6
Wow! What a great day in the Lord we had at Plant City's First Baptist. To the left is a picture of Jacelyn with Erin Bethea, the lead actress from the movie Fireproof. Erin spoke at our church this evening and gave a great testimony to the Lord's work in the movie producing ministry at Sherwood Baptist Church in Albany, GA.I hope the 1st five days of your Love Dare with your children was great. As a reminder, please subscribe to the blog to receive the daily updates Monday through Friday of each week.
Day Number 6 - Love is not irritable
Look up Proverbs 16:31 in your bible.
Pray about Proverbs 16:31 and ask God what he is saying to you through the scripture.
Read the following: Do you know what it means to be irritable? Very simply, it means to be in a bad mood and let it show to others. Many times, we are irritable towards those that we love the most. People with the love of Jesus in their hearts remain calm at all times and are patient. One major reason that we become irritable is because we are being selfish about something. Remember back to Day Number 3 when we defined how true love says "Yes."
- True Love looks for ways to say "Yes." It means that you are not selfish and you look for a way to say yes to someone else instead of thinking of yourself."
Let Jesus' love shine through and do away with being irritable!
Your Challenge: For today's challenge, make a list that includes any irritable behaviors you have had this past Saturday and Sunday. Maybe you didn't use proper manners with an adult? Or maybe you are holding a grudge against your brother or sister or a friend for something they did to you. Pray about the list and ask God to help you improve in those areas. You may need to apologize to someone on your list. Ask God for the strength to give them a hug and apologize.
In Christ,

Have you ever been rude to someone? There is a good chance that at some point you have been rude to you parents or brother or sister. No one enjoys being around a rude person. Love is the opposite of being rude. Love helps you mind your manners. If you remember any time recently when you had trouble with your manners, maybe you need to love more and try to get rid of all rudeness in your life!
Your Challenge: This may be a tough challenge for you. Today, go to your parents or teachers and ask them to tell you three things that you have done that are rude or disrepectful. Then, promise to pray about those things and work hard to replace rudeness with love.

Your Challenge: Continue your Love Dare from yesterday where you didn't say anything mean or disrespectful to your parents or brother or sister. Also today, do something nice as a surprise for a family member or a friend. You might draw them a picture, write a note, make them a craft or even do a chore like cleaning your room without being asked. The important thing is that you do something kind as a surprise!
Love Dare For Elementary Students - Day Number 1
Day Number 1 - Love is Patient
Look up Ephesians 4:2 in your bible and read it to yourself.
Pray about Ephesians 4:2 and ask God what he is saying to you through the scripture.
Read the following: No one likes to be around an impatient person. It causes us to act in foolish ways. Whenever we are impatient and angry, it simply causes more and more anger. Patience stops anger immediately. If we are patient with each other, then we can't be angry! That's awesome isn't it!
Your Challenge: For today, be patient with each other and your parents. Be so patient that you don't say anything mean or disrespectful to each other or your parents.
