Daily Discipleship Guide for 11-MAY-2010

We can't give what we've never received.  If we've never received love, how can we love others?
Do you agree that we can't give what we haven't received?  Explain.

How does someone "receive" love?  How does someone "refuse" love?

Have you received God's love?  Explain.

How can we love as God loves?  We want to.  We long to.  But how can we?  By living loved.  We receive first and love second.

How does God love you?

What does the phrase "living loved" mean to you?  Are you living loved?  Explain.

How do you receive God's love on a day-to-day basis?

Please close by reading or singing the first verse of "Gift of Love."

Though I may speak with bravest fire, and have the gift to all inspire, and have not love, my words are vain, as sounding brass, and hopeless gain.
