Intro:
Hi kids, this is Dorette with an encouraging word for Kids today. I hope you are realizing how much more God has for you. We are still talking about MORE, and I hope you are getting a big picture of all of the good things God has in store for you. Be blessed today.
I have a dare for you! Take the words fear and afraid out of your vocabulary. Maybe you are asking, is that really ok to do? When it comes to reaching your destiny and becoming the person God has for you, sometimes we are fearful or afraid of what it might take. But because we are believers and we believe (!), we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us, we can move forward and press on without fear. I heard someone once say, when you step out to do something new, doing it afraid is ok. When we feel fear, we can say that with God’s help, I am full of courage. When something feels scary, we can say, I can overcome and press through this feeling, so that I can live fearlessly. Is there something you have wanted to try, but fear is holding you back? Maybe it’s trying out for a team, or a musical group, or a play. Why not step out and try. One thing that is good to remember is that most people fail in some way before becoming a success. I heard someone say that they used their mess ups and mistakes to press forward. You could say they failed forward. Failure isn’t final. It can become a new starting point that gives you the courage to try again. So take any words that hold you back from reaching your destiny out of your vocabulary. You are made for more, and you will get there without fear!
