Habits in Middle Schoolಮಾದರಿ

Have you ever had a friend that didn’t really make a lot of time for you? Every time you wanted to hang out, they always had other plans. Maybe it made you feel like they were more committed to other things than your friendship. In the same way, sometimes it’s easy for us to be more committed—or more loyal—to things like Netflix, or sports, or friends than to our relationship with God. And while those things aren’t bad, we never want to put more into them than we do into our relationship with God. The good news is, as this verse reminds us, we can always come back to God. When we do, He promises to come close to us again.

Write a letter to God and ask for forgiveness for placing your loyalty in other places. Remember that as you come close to God, He comes close to you.
