3 Bible Stories That Teach Kids About Love
My daughter gets off the bus with a blank face. Maybe she’s tired or maybe it’s been a tough day at school. Kindergarten is just hard, folks.
She runs to me and I reach out my arms to welcome her. No matter what the day held, she’s home now. She’s mine.
I ask her about her day. What did you do? Who did you play with? Almost always these days, our conversation moves to the “mean girl.”
When her teacher first told us about the “mean girl” in our semester conference, I was surprised. My daughter had never mentioned an issue. Almost simultaneously though, she began to share about the girl who bullies her away from playing with others. She’s unleashed her fury on all the girls, not just mine.
I’m slowly getting over the fact that my daughter is in kindergarten and already dealing with a “mean girl” by focusing my energy on intentionally teaching her how NOT to be one and how to love one. Though I’m surprised and honestly annoyed that we are facing this issue, I am thankful the interaction is encouraging us to make love the theme in our conversations of faith.
With Valentine’s Day rapidly approaching, I’ve been looking for more ways to show my kids what the Bible says about love.
Three Bible Stories That Teach Kids About Love
1. Jesus loves us, and that helps us love others.
The Vine and the Branches (John 15:9-15)
Through Jesus’ illustration of the grapevine, we see our relationship with him as life-giving, nourishing and as imperative as the connection between the vine and branch. This simple, yet powerful picture is one your children can understand. Verse 9 encourages us to remain in his love. Love comes from a heart that is connected to Jesus. When we truly know him and understand his heart for us and for others, we will love well.
Related verse: We love because he first loved us. (1 John 4:19)
2. Love the unlovable.
Zacchaeus (Luke 19:1-10)
Even though he was known as a sinful, tax collector, Zacchaeus wanted to see Jesus the day he came to town. Use this story to help your child understand that unkind, unpleasant, unlovable people still want to be known and loved even though they don’t act like it. Jesus gives a wonderful example in this story of reaching out to someone who is unloved by many. He goes out of his way to reach out and Zacchaeus’ heart is changed by his love.
Related verse: Love others as I have loved you. (John 15:12)
3. Love those in need.
The Good Samaritan (Luke 10:26-37)
Jesus instructs us to “love our neighbor as ourselves.” When asked “Who is our neighbor?” he responds with this story we’ve all heard a thousand times in so many ways. The Good Samaritan is a foundational example of what it means to be a Christian. Our children need to be encouraged to notice those in need around them. Through this teaching, we can help foster a heart of compassion in our kids. We can teach them to see and then act when others are in need. In doing so, we are encouraging a love that puts others first.
Related verse: Love your neighbor as yourself. (Luke 10:27)

BITCOIN RECOVERY TESTIMONY: How I Got My Funds Back After a Major Crypto Theft.
Earlier this year, I went through one of the most devastating experiences of my life— My digital Asset wallet was compromised in what cybersecurity experts refer to as a “Dark Skippy” attack. It was a highly advanced and stealthy breach that completely wiped out my crypto portfolio in total of $1,425,000.
The sense of loss and helplessness was overwhelming. I had no idea how it happened so quickly and worse.
I didn’t know if I’d ever see that money again. I spent weeks looking for solutions— contacting platforms, forums, and supposed “recovery agents,” most of whom turned out to be scams themselves.
Then, I came across a company called TROJANHACK Cyber Security Company, and everything changed.
They were professional, highly knowledgeable, and transparent from the very start. Using the latest in advanced hacking software and forensic tools.
they were able to track the stolen funds across several wallets and trace the movement of my crypto with impressive accuracy. Their team not only located the stolen assets but also successfully recovered every last bit of it.More than just recovering my funds, they went a step further by helping me secure everything through advanced wallet protection strategies. They even provided me with basic cybersecurity training, so I now know how to better protect myself from future attacks.
Thanks to TROJANHACK, what started out as a financial disaster turned into a full recovery. I’m beyond grateful, and the least I can do is recommend them to anyone out there going through the same nightmare.
If you’ve lost crypto due to hacking or scams, don’t lose hope. I’ve been there and I got it all back. You can reach them via email:

A Life-Changing Experience, Dr Kachi A Testimony of Gratitude
I would like to share an extraordinary experience that has transformed my life. I came across a remarkable testimony online forum about a powerful and renowned spell caster, Dr. Kachi. At the time, I was skeptical because I had never encountered anything related to magic or spell casting before. However, the story of Dr. Kachi’s work resonated with me, and I decided to give it a chance. For years, my family and I struggled financially, and despite my best efforts, I never had luck winning the lottery. I loved playing, but winning seemed impossible. Everything changed when I connected with Dr. Kachi, who provided me with a winning lottery number through a powerful spell. In just 24 hours, I was able to play the lottery and won the Lotto 6/49 prize, a remarkable $68 million cash prize, on September 27th in the Gold Ball Draw. This incredible win has completely changed my life and the financial well-being of my entire family. After 10 years of trying unsuccessfully, I am now living my dream life. I am beyond grateful to Dr. Kachi for his assistance, Dr. Kachi has truly been a blessing to me and my loved ones.
