How does God show GOODNESS to us?
Key concepts
When we talk about ‘goodness’ it starts on the inside of each one of us. Goodness, or doing the right thing to do is something we all need to choose. And we need God’s help to choose it. In Luke 18:19 Jesus said “No one is good - except God alone.” The good news is that when we ask for God’s help, he comes and lives in us through the Holy Spirit!
Sometimes being good is easy. And sometimes being good is really hard! This is why we use Lucy Lemon as the ‘Goodness' fruit. Lemonade is really easy to drink, but straight lemon juice is not!
In the dictionary goodness is defined like this : friendliness, generosity, grace, honesty, kindness, integrity, mercy, value, honour, rightness. This week ask your whole family to focus on GOODNESS. With God’s help, we can all show goodness to each other.
MEMORY VERSE
Can you work out what all of the fruit are? You might need to look this verse up in your Bible to check! Ask and adult to help you find the verse in your Bible.
We can be kind to Elsa and Rojer, our sponsor kids from Manado, Indonesia by praying for them. Pray that God keeps them and their families safe and well.
