Greetings
children.
Today we will learn about the most important relationship in
our lives, which is our relationship with God. Did you know that God made you
out of love and for a special purpose? That purpose is to know, love and
serve God, then one day to be happy with Him forever in Heaven.
How do we know God?
We get to know God just like we get to know a friend, by
spending time with Him.
- Through His Word: the Bible is like God’s letter
to us. When we read the stories about Jesus, we learn what God is like; kind,
loving, strong, and always near
- Through prayer: when we talk to God, He listens.
And when we listen in prayer, God speaks to our hearts
- Through God’s creation: look at your family and friends,
the animals, flowers, sun and stars. These show how amazing and creative
God is.
Here is an activity for you to do: Think about what part of God’s
creation you love the most and why.
How do we love God?
When we love
someone, we want to be close to them, listen to them, and do what makes them
happy.
- By keeping His
commandments: Jesus said, “If you love me, keep my commandments.”
That means being honest, kind, forgiving, and respectful
- By loving others: when we
help a friend, share with someone in need, or forgive someone who hurt us,
we are showing love to God
- By saying “thank
You”: every time we say “Thank You, God,” we are showing love and
trust.
Here is an activity for you to do: Think of ways you can show love to
God (kindness, prayer and saying sorry when you have made a mistake).
How do we serve God?
Serving God
means using our lives to make God happy and to help others.
- At home: you serve God by
obeying your parents, helping your brothers and sisters, and being
thankful
- At church: you can serve by
learning, listening, prayer and singing
- In
everyday life: you can serve by doing good deeds. Even a small kindness
matters to God.
Here is an activity for
you to do: think
of ways you can serve, such as helping a classmate or praying for someone.
Let us remember:
- We get to know God
through His Word, prayer, and the beauty around us
- We love God by keeping
His commandments and loving others
- We serve God by doing
good and living with joy for Him every day.
God made you for a reason. You are special, loved, and called
to live for Him. The more you know Him, the more you will love and want to
serve Him.
Let us pray:
“Dear God, thank You for making us, for loving us, and for
always being near to us. Help us to know You better, to love You more, and to
serve You every day. We want to live for You with happy hearts. Amen.”
