Activity
I would like for you to
discover what this tape, glue,
stapler, and bolt have in
common. Think about it.
(Allow them to answer.)

That’s right! They are all used to hold things
together. Most of you probably have tape
and glue in your desk at school or in your
room. You may also have a stapler of your
own, or perhaps your teacher or parents do.
Your father probably has a jar of bolts in the
garage that he uses to hold metal or wooden
objects together. Almost everything we have
has to be held together by something. Can
you name a few other things that hold things
together?

Application
• There is something else that needs to
be held together as well and that is
people.
• We need to be close to people.
• If we are not, life becomes very sad
and lonely.

• We need to be close to our family, to our
friends, and to our fellow church people-
plus many others.
• Let me tell you what holds people
together better than anything else: Love!
Love is the best tape, the best glue, the
best staple, the best bolt that you can find
to keep you close to people.

• There are other things that we sometimes think
keep us close to others but they don’t work as well
as love.
• You may think that it’s because you live on the
same street that you are friends with a certain
person, but if that is all that makes you friends it
will be over with the first time you have a serious
fight.
• Sometimes we think we are close friends with
someone because we like the same sport or the
same games but this usually doesn’t last either.

• Even living in the same house with your family will
not automatically make you close to them.
• In every case what we really need is love for that
person.
• No matter what you like doing with someone
close to you, just remember that to love that
person is the most important thing of all.
• Love will be the tape, the glue, the staple, the bolt
that holds us together in unity.
