The Starting Line for Kids: Your New Life in ChristSample
6: The Ultimate Coach
READY
“For the Lord your God is living among you. He is a mighty savior. He will take delight in you with gladness. With his love, he will calm all your fears. He will rejoice over you with joyful songs.” Zephaniah 3:17 NLT
SET
If you’re going to trust God to direct your life, then you need to understand His heart towards you. We all sometimes have doubts about whether God really cares.
God sends His love to His children who place their faith in Jesus. Because of God’s extreme love, we’ve been given an incredible position. God created you so that you would be happy through a close personal relationship with Him. There’s no doubt that we can get very excited about our favorite teams or winning a competition. Discovering the deeper things of God is a lifelong journey powered by passion. He wants to see you excited about life with Him.
Spend an extended time with God this week, and ask Him how He feels about you and what He enjoys about you.
