Many Bible texts assure us of God’s love; others focus on the love God’s people have for one another. Still, we often feel lonely, isolated, and afraid that no one loves us. These three Bible studies are designed to help us explore some of our fears of being unloved as we seek the Spirit’s help to open us to receive caring from others.
These studies offer an opportunity:
- to let God affirm His love for us;
- to open up to others so they can care for us;
- to let God use us to care for others.
Remember, it is not easy to talk about being unloved, so be sure to listen compassionately as each person shares. As leader, you will want to think through each study as you decide how to respond to each participants needs and what parts of each study will fit your group.
