(Inspirational/Juvenile/Historical/Fiction) BEING A GIRL WHO LOVES Laura V. Hilton 05/02/2006 What do you love? Is it pizza or downloadable ring tones? What about your family or best friends? Do you love God? How can you love all of them? First John 4:8 tells us that God is love. That means you are not truly able to love without first being filled with God. We were designed to selflessly love and be loved, yet we’ve made it into something other than what God created it to be. Love is about self-sacrifice, giving and taking, needing and being needed. When we stop thinking about ourselves and start thinking about how others feel, we’ll be able to figure out what we can do for them. What can you do for someone else today? Selflessness is the kind of love that will grab the world with force and change it—and you can be the one to start it. Show the world that you are a Christian by loving as Jesus loves.
