Bible Commentary

Proverbs 15:17

Relationships matter more than resources. A modest meal eaten in an atmosphere of genuine love and unity is incomparably better than lavish feasting in an environment of hatred and conflict. Love is the true ingredient that makes a home a home.

Memory phrase: Love makes all things better.

Talk about it: Why is love more important than having lots of things?

Prayer: God, fill our home with real love.
