Day 1 – BE AN EXAMPLE

Read Titus 2:7
What example does God want you to be?
You have Jesus! You have what everyone needs. Living for Jesus is the best way to live and God wants you to show it. God wants you to be an example to others of what it looks like to live for Him. Living for Jesus has transformed you…you are different.
Being “you” means letting others see how you are transformed!
What are some ways you can be an example of doing good and showing others you are serious about your faith in Jesus?

Day 2 – BE FORGIVING

Read Colossians 3:13
What does God ask you to do? Why should you forgive others?
In Christ, you are forgiven so God wants you to be forgiving. There will be people who hurt you during your life, but forgiving others is the best way to let the hurt start healing. Forgiving another can be what God uses to help heal the person who hurts!
Are you thankful God forgave your sins? Is it hard for you to forgive others? Why or why not? Is there someone you need to forgive today?

Day 3 – BE LOVING

Read 1 John 4:8
Fill in the blank: You don’t know God if you don’t ______________.
Who is the definition of love?
Next to the word “love” in the dictionary should be God’s name. He is the definition of love. You are loved. It is who you are in Christ. God loves you so much and He wants you to love others—even the ones who are hard to love. Love is an action. It means being patient with someone. It means serving another. Love means sacrificing what you want for the other person. Jesus did all these things for all people, even those who don’t love Him back. Because you are loved, you should love.
Who do you love? Who is someone you don’t like?
How can you “love” that person?
note: you don’t have to say “I love you”- you can be loving in your actions

Day 4 – YOU ARE SELFLESS

Read Philippians 2:3-4
What does God ask you to do? Who are you to consider better than yourselves?
Whose interests should be important to you?
God is selfless. He died on the cross for you and didn’t even think twice about doing it. The best way to share Christ with another person is to first be selfless. Because the world is not selfless, people will want to know why you truly care about others more than yourself. Then guess what…you have an opportunity to tell them about Jesus being selfless! How can you be selfless with your family members?

Day 5 – YOU ARE KIND

Read Ephesians 4:32
What does the Bible say you should be to others?
God doesn’t care about cars, clothes, fame, money or things. He cares about people. He created people in His image and He loves them. Since God cares about people more than anything you should care about people too. Kindness is a great way to care about people. It’s easy to be mean when someone is mean to you. It’s easy to be mean when you are jealous. Many people say mean things to bring others down to make themselves look better. God wants you to be kind. People are important to Him. Because you have Jesus, it’s time to be kind.
Think about a time you were not kind to someone. Why were you not kind?
How could you have chosen kindness? What are some ways you can be kind?
