Sad
or happy?
Take a piece of paper and draw a circle on it. You can use a cup or a pair of compasses. Then take a marker and draw the same sad smiley as the one in the picture. When you feel sad or lonely, take this smiley and turn it upside-down. The smiley is smiling! Touch it and you’ll see. The smiley will remind you that God loves you very much. He wants to forgive you and accept you into His family.
You are Loved by God
Complete the blank spaces with your name. You’ll find what God says about you in the Bible. If you already have your own Bible you can see that it is true. Or you can open the Bible on the internet at www.biblegateway.com.
God so loved that He gave His only Son, that who believes (or trusts) in Him should not perish (be shut out forever from God’s family) but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16)
