| "I LOVED HER, I LIKE HER NOT" by Kara Mishler and Carol Duerksen | |||||||||||||

YOUTH GROUP LESSON 10
|
|||||||||||||
| RESPOND: Write the name of each person in the class on a piece of paper, then cut it up so you have small slips with a name on each slip. Place the slips in the basket and have students draw names (redraw if they get their own.) Explain that for the next week, they should pray for the person whose name they drew, particularly the people in that person’s life that they may not like, but that God is calling them to love. They will not know the specifics of the situation they are praying for, that that’s okay. Close with a group prayer. THE STORY: I don’t like her. I don’t like her at all. It hasn’t always been that way. I’ve known Jessica all my life. We were best friends growing up. We were always together, I mean always. I can’t remember a day when I wasn’t at her house or she wasn’t at mine. We would play games, watch movies, talk about boys, dress up and take pictures. It was a beautiful friendship. Life was perfect back then. We hardly ever fought, and when we did, we would get over it in seconds. Her family was my family, and my family her’s. I thought it would be this way forever. We planned our weddings with each other the maid of honor. I never thought anything could destroy our friendship. When we started high school, we each started running with different friends, but we were still close. But everything changed one evening. “It was just a dare,” she told me over and over again. But there was no way we could be friends after what Jessica did. It was too hard. I wasn’t in love with the guy or anything. We were just dating. No big deal. But everyone knows that you don’t fool around with your friend’s boyfriend. She kept saying “You don’t understand! I didn’t mean to hurt you! It was one little kiss and it didn’t mean anything!” Whatever. I knew she wanted him. Maybe she really didn’t mean to hurt me, but she did. Continued... |
