A Child's Guide To: God's Nearness in Change

DAY 1 OF 8

Always the Same

Your love is faithful, Lord, and even the clouds in the sky can depend on you.
Psalm 36:5 (CEV)

Many things are going to change in your life, like where you live, who you play with, and what school you go to.

As you grow, you will change, too. You will learn to do more things. You might decide your favorite color is green even though it had always been blue. You might like different games. You might even learn to like broccoli!

All these changes can make a kid’s head spin. You know how it feels when you are spinning around and you get dizzy, and you need to hold onto something solid?

Well, for us, God is always the solid one. He never changes. He won’t leave us or forget us. He won’t decide he doesn’t love us anymore. He won’t oversleep and miss coming to see you. He won’t move away. God is faithful, which means we can always depend on him!

God is always with you. He will always listen and help you. And he will always, always love you.

HERO TRAINING

Everything depends on God’s faithful love, from the cloud in the sky to the ant on the ground. Draw a picture with a few creatures that depend on God.

GOD'S WONDERFUL WORLD

Some birds and insects can fly higher than the clouds! God’s faithful love is up there, too.
