Tailor it to Fit
- 1. One of the beautiful things about love is that it’s adaptable. It adapts to the need. There’s no set
formula for love, so part of the work of showing love is finding out what the need is and how to meet
it. Here are a few ideas that you could apply, whether with your own family or your group of friends:
1. Recognize and appreciate the good qualities in others.
2. Do things for others just to show them that you care about them. Go out of your way to
make someone happy.

3. If someone does something that bothers you and which makes you feel critical or upset,
think about how Jesus views that person. Remembering how valuable the person is to Jesus
will help to put any flaws in perspective.
4. When you see that one of your friends or peers needs safeguarding—maybe they do
something that is harmful to themselves or say something that is hurtful to someone else—
try to speak up to them about it in love, and with humility and patience.
5. Get to know others better, and as you do, you’ll discover what means the most to them,
which will help you to be more effective in showing love and care to them.
