Power Traits Of A Jesus-Follower

DAY 2 OF 5

Identity

Parent prep | Take a minute, as you begin, to celebrate how God made your child in secret before you ever met him/her. As you sit down with your child,, be prepared to point out your favorite traits in him/her. Give God the credit for making him/her that way. If you’re comfortable, share some thoughts you had while you waited and your child grew in secret. If your child came to your family through a different way, share the anticipation of getting to know who God made this child to be.

Read together | Have you ever made something and waited in anticipation to see how it would turn out? I, Dana, get teased a lot about trying new recipes on my family and friends because I don’t know if it’s going to be any good. I just experiment on them. We just have to wait and see! When you tie dye something, you wrap the fabric up tightly and dunk it in the color. You can’t really know exactly how it will look until it comes out of the dye and the bands and you hang it up to dry. When God made you, people wondered what you would be like. They couldn’t see your body forming. They probably thought about who’s nose you’d get and what kind of person you’d become. But God always knew! God didn’t have to wait and see what you’d look like or who you’d become. You were made just the way God planned!

What makes you who you are on the inside and outside is called your identity. All of it was designed by God. Let’s ask God to show us how we are each made special and so very loved.

About this Plan

Power Traits Of A Jesus-Follower

When you meet Jesus, you receive power traits from the Holy Spirit. This 5-day plan for you and your kids introduces a framework for four traits of a Jesus-follower that can grow with the conversations that carry kids through the teen years and into adulthood. You'll look at identity, faith, integrity and compassion together and discover what God has to say about growing in each power trait.
