This document describes an object lesson to teach children that God's love grows as you share it with others. The lesson involves writing "GOD'S LOVE" on a piece of paper and cutting off corners to give away, showing that you end up with more corners (representing God's love) after each time you share it. The lesson aims to illustrate that the more love you give away, the more abundant God's love becomes, just as each cut corner of the paper results in more corners. It encourages applying this by finding small ways to show love to others.

1. The more of God's
Love you give away,
the bigger it gets

Object Lesson
1. Show everyone the paper with GOD’S LOVE
written on it.
2. Explain that God’s love is something we can
all have and we can also all give away.
3. Point out that in this case God’s love has “4
corners” Ask, If I were to give you one of my
corners of God’s Love how many would I
have left? Some will surely answer 3. Then
show them.

4. Take the scissors and cut off one of the
corners, and give it to someone.
5. Count the corners now. “I gave one away,
and now I’ve got FIVE!” Continue is this
way, cutting off each of the four initial
corners.

6. Explain that you end up with MORE
corners of God’s Love every time you
give one away.
7. Then ask who received one of the
corners I gave away. “Are you sure I gave
you one?” It became three when you
cut it… so it keeps multiplying.
