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.
