Love in Action: A free Bible study for busy moms
As moms, life often feels like a whirlwind of tasks, emotions, and responsibilities. In the chaos, it’s easy to lose sight of what really matters: love.
Whether it’s showing love to your children, your spouse or even yourself, love is the foundation of everything we do as followers of Christ. This February, take a step back and focus on love with our 28-day Bible reading plan designed specifically for busy moms.
Join the online study
While you can do the study on your own or in your women’s small group, we’d also love for you to join us online. Starting Feb. 1, 2025, we’ll be discussing the study in our private Facebook group, Christian Moms with Grace.
Throughout the year, we complete Bible studies like this one and have a free monthly Bible reading plan as well.

Why focus on love?
Love isn’t just a feel-good emotion; it’s a command from God and the essence of our faith. In Matthew 22:37-39, Jesus tells us to love God with all our heart, soul, and mind and to love our neighbor as ourselves. But how do we live that out in our daily lives as moms? This Bible reading plan will guide you through Scripture to help you explore God’s love, love in marriage, a mother’s love, and how to show love to others.
How the plan works
This 28-day Bible reading plan is broken into four weeks spanning the month of February 2025. Each has its own theme:
- Stories of God’s Love in the Bible (Feb. 1-9): Discover the depth of God’s love through powerful stories like the Prodigal Son and Ruth.
- Marriage Love (Feb. 10-16): Dive into Scripture that celebrates and teaches about the beauty of unconditional love in marriage.
- Mother’s Love (Feb. 17-23): Reflect on God’s design for a mother’s love and how it mirrors His care for us.
- Love for Others (Feb. 24-28): Learn how to extend love beyond your family and into the world around you, even when it’s challenging.
Each day includes up to three Bible verses—perfect for fitting into even the busiest mom’s schedule. You’ll also find weekly reflection questions to help you process what you’ve read and apply it to your life.
Why this plan is perfect for moms
As moms, we need encouragement that meets us where we are. This plan is:
- Doable: With just a few verses a day, you can stay consistent without feeling overwhelmed.
- Relevant: The themes address the unique ways love impacts our roles as moms, wives and Christ-followers.
- Inspiring: Each passage is a reminder of God’s love for you and His call to share that love with others.
This February, don’t let the busyness of life keep you from diving deeper into God’s Word. Take the time to reflect on love and let it transform your heart, your relationships and your faith. Join us on this journey of love—one day, one verse, one moment at a time.
Let’s make February a month where love isn’t just something we feel but something we live out daily. Are you ready to join us?

Week 2: Marriage Love
Marriage is one of God’s most beautiful gifts to us, a sacred covenant designed to reflect God’s unconditional love for His people. Yet, as any couple knows, it’s not always easy to live out that kind of unconditional love in marriage.
Thankfully, the Bible provides us with wisdom, encouragement and practical guidance to nurture our marriages with selfless love and mutual respect.
This week, we’ll explore how to embody unconditional love in marriage and build a relationship that both honors God’s command and reflects His steadfast love.

Week 3: Mother’s Love
A mother’s love is one of the most powerful forces in the world—deep, selfless and enduring. While motherhood is full of joy, it also comes with exhaustion, doubts and hard days.
Sometimes we can feel like the struggle of motherhood in today’s world is vastly different from our foremothers. Yet, there are numerous lessons to learn from mothers in the Bible.
God’s Word is packed with examples of mom who loved their children fiercely and who had to learn about patience, sacrifice and trust in God.
Let’s take a look at five different mothers in the Bible and what each of them can teach us.

Week 4: Love for Others
Mom life is pretty much epitomized by serving. We are constantly giving ourselves away to take care of our families. So, adding more service to that mix can be downright overwhelming.
Yet, God calls us to love and serve not from a place of exhaustion, but from a heart filled with His strength and peace. Through Him, loving others without burnout is possible, even for the busiest mom.
We need to take a look at what God is actually calling us to do in loving in others and talk about ways to practically – realistically – make it happen in today’s life.
