An Open Letter to Children
You are special. God chose you to
be His child. He wants you to spend time with Him.
Spending time with God is called having devotions. You read
the Bible and pray.
This book teaches you what the Bible says about being God ’ s child. It explains how to make God happy.
Find a quiet time to be alone with God. It helps if this is
the same time each day. Find a place where no one will disturb you.
Each devotion in this book has three parts. Each part is
important.
Think
This section asks you to think about your life. Then the
Bible lesson will be easier to understand.
Learn
Each devotion teaches you a new lesson from the Bible. It
shows you how to be a child of God.
Pray
Learning something can be easy. But doing something about it
can be hard. Praying helps you be a better Christian.
At the end of each devotion is a special verse from the
Bible. You might want to memorize this verse.
I hope this book helps you get to know God in a wonderful
way.
Paul J. Loth, Ed.D.
Answering Our Friends
Luke 5:27-39
Think
When was the last time someone asked you to explain your
actions?
What did you say?
Learn
The Bible tells us we should act like Jesus. God sent the Ho l y Spirit to help us.
Jesus did not act like other people. People asked Him why He
acted different.
We should act like Jesus. Our friends will ask why we act
that way. We can tell them. It is because we love Jesus.
Pray
Make me brave enou g h to
act like Jesus.
Honor Christ and let him be the Lord of your life. Always be ready to give
an answer when someone asks you about your hope.
1 Peter 3:15
Doing Our Job
Acts 20:17-38
Think
When was the last time you had a job to do?
Learn
Jesus has a job for us. It is to tell our friends
