I Corinthians 13:13

And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

“Faith, hope, and love—these three remain, but the greatest of these is love.” As we step into the demands and responsibilities of teaching and guiding children, it’s essential that we keep this truth at the forefront of our hearts. The Lord made it clear: above all else, love is what matters most.

In the midst of lesson plans, assessments, routines, and expectations, we must remember that our highest calling is to ensure each child knows they are deeply loved. Loved by God—and loved by us, His representatives here on earth. That love should shine through everything we do, from the way we speak, to how we correct, encourage, and support.

It’s more than a feeling; it’s our directive. If our students leave our classrooms knowing they are genuinely loved, we’ve accomplished something far greater than any academic goal. We’ve reflected the heart of Christ.

Prayer

Dear Father, please help us to remember every day that we are to be an example of your love in all we say and do when we are with our students and to everyone we come in contact with
