The Rule of Love
Line up.  Sit down.  Be quiet.  No running in the halls.  Raise your hand.  School rules!God has His own rules, too.  They are the Ten Commandments and the rule of love.  The Bible says, *"We should love each other, because love come from God."  God helps us love other people.Obeying school rules keeps us out of trouble.  Obeying God's rule of love keeps us from having "people trouble."There are a lot of people who are hard to love.  Do you sometimes think, "I don't like that kid.  She lies."  Or, "He punches."God does not love those sings, but he does love those people.God can show you how to love those people, too.You can smile, say something kind, or share a candy bar.God can give you HIS love for anyone!   *1 John 4:7
