Three feet is often stated as the distance most people prefer to stand from someone else. This distance is called “personal space.” Name ways you reflect Christian love while standing at a distance and talking to someone. One example: smile.
I try to reflect Christian love when I speak with someone. I know I’m not perfect, so I’m sure my posture and mannerisms do not always seem as warm and friendly as they should. I will strive to do better.
Another example of a personal space that can reflect Christian love could be your bedroom, your car, etc. One personal space in my home is the sunporch where I often read and study God’s word. After this room was remodeled, I had two blank walls to decorate. I selected a Christian theme for this personal space. Photos below reveals that one wall is decorated with bird items and the other with flowers. Why? Jesus teaches that God cares for the birds of the air and the lilies of the field and he also cares for us. Scripture: Matthew 6: 25-34. By choosing to decorate my sunporch with this theme, my personal space reflects Christian love. I enjoy spending time in this space.
Discuss personal space and Christian love with your parents! Perhaps you can work on a Christian themed decorating project as a family.
