Hi kids, this is Dorette Schaal with an encouraging word for your day. I hope you are beginning to realize how much more God has for you. You are destined to win in this race of life. Even when we crash and get scraped up, we can get up and keep going. Here is your dailyeword for kids today:
Perhaps your parents have told you this before: bad behavior doesn’t make you a bad person. What bad you have done, doesn’t define who you are. Another way to say that is, failures in life don’t make you a failure. We have all made mistakes, messed up, and sinned. Aren’t you glad that when we do, our life isn’t over? We have an option, and that is to come to God, repent, ask forgiveness, receive God’s mercy, and move ahead. I John 1:9 says that if we confess our sins, God is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. What do you do when you fall off of your bike? You get back up. You may stay on the ground for a moment, but you are going to bounce back. You have bounce back in you! We can expect the same thing in our life. We are probably gonna mess up again sometime, and we know that God will be there to help us get back up, just like we would get back on our bike. God is faithful and just. He is the helper and the encourager beside you helping you get back on the seat, and encouraging you to start pedaling again. He will brush off the dirt of your life, because He wants you to walk clean, and make it to the destination He has planned for you. So keep on pedaling! Past mistakes, failure and mess ups can’t hold you back. You are going to make it to the finish line, and you can win at this race called life.
