This printable devotion for kids entitled “What is Love?” is the second of its kind. Click here to see the first devotional plan about hope. Children are given a scripture to read and a question to answer each day to practice studying God’s word. This particular topic is important because biblical love is one of the most misunderstood topics in today’s world. The devotion outlines the truth concerning love, and there is also an instruction page that may be passed out.
With these devotions, children can go at their own pace and not necessarily have to fit all the devotions in one month. The important thing to remember is that children have to, at some point, begin taking responsibility for their own growth in the faith, so this is a great way to start!
