Theme Writing

Lost In Love
This is love:not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. Dear Friends, since God so loved is, we also ought to love one another.
1 John 4:10-11

We choose Lost In Love since there are always ways we can improve being loving to each other. We can show our theme, Lost in Love, to others in our school and to people in the world.
We can show our theme at school. One way that I enjoy showing Love at school is interaction with smaller kids at school. I like this one a lot because when I was little, a highlight of my day was when a “Big Kid” Said “Hi” to me or called me by name. It is so easy yet makes a difference in someone’s day. Another way that I can show love at school is by being a good friend. I can be a good friend by making sure no one gets left out, and including everyone. I can also be a good friend by helping others with school work, not doing it for them, but being able to help them if they don’t understand. Being a good friend is something that we have to choose, but by being a good friend we have the joy to show the school and other classmates God’s love from the Holy Spirit inside us. But by being a good friend we also have to be able to put others in front of ourselves. By being respectful we are also showing love to our teachers by giving them our center of attention. When we respect the teacher while they are talking and when we finish the homework they gave us it is showing that we care enough that we did what they asked us to do.
We as Christians can show love to the world. One way we can show love to the world is by helping people who have lost everything. For example, for people who have houses in hurricane Harvey and Irma as there are so many people in danger and who have lost their homes to the flooding. We could send food, clothing and even people with boats to get people who are trapped in their homes. Like Paul, some people lost everything but we need to also be like Paul and give our lives fully to Jesus. Another way we can show love to the world is by just showing everyone around us that we care. If we are loving and joyful to them, they are going to want to reflect that. And everyone else will see how we are so joyful and that we are different from the non-christians since we have God’s love in us. Another way we could show love to people is by respecting their opinion. When we do this we show that we care on what they are saying even if we disagree. That is something that can be difficult if we don’t agree.
We can show our theme, Lost in Love, to others in our school and to people in the world. During school and everywhere else we go, we always have the choice between loving others and standing on the outside. This theme is helping us all to be a better Christians to to show Jesus’ love to the world.
