GOD MESSAGE 1 KIDS

God Message Chapter 1

In this statement, Jesus emphasizes the significance of faith and belief. He acknowledges the belief of the person who has witnessed his presence, but he also blesses those who have faith without physical evidence. Jesus highlights the power of trust and conviction in the absence of tangible proof, suggesting that true blessings come to those who hold steadfast to their beliefs even in the absence of direct visual confirmation.

Faith is an integral part of our daily lives, often unnoticed. It manifests in the simplest of actions, like getting into a car with your parents to go to the mall. Instead of questioning the outcome, you trust that if the intended destination is the mall, you will indeed reach it. Faith, in this context, is the unwavering belief that things will unfold as anticipated, allowing us to move forward with confidence and certainty.

Everyday faith is a profound aspect of life. While trust is often placed in tangible elements such as the driver, the road, and the car, there is also a reliance on intangible factors. We trust that other drivers will exercise caution and not collide with us, that the engine will remain intact without any parts detaching unexpectedly, and that unforeseen obstacles like a falling tree won't obstruct our path. This implicit trust in the unseen is inherent in our daily experiences, and it is a shared quality among all individuals.

You can apply the same kind of faith you have in the visible world to believe in me, even though I may not be directly seen or physically present. Instead, you can find evidence of my existence in the beauty of nature, the everyday miracles that occur around you, and the teachings within the Bible. By learning to trust me beyond what is visible, you can develop a faith that transcends the physical realm.

The disciples were fortunate to have seen Jesus in the flesh, which strengthened their belief in Him. However, an even greater blessing is bestowed upon those who believe in Him through their faith, even without witnessing His physical presence. Faith transcends the limitations of the physical world, allowing individuals to connect with Jesus on a deeper spiritual level and experience the transformative power of belief.

Chapter 2

The phrase "Can a mother forget her baby... and have no compassion on the child she has borne?" reflects the deep bond and natural instinct of a mother towards her child. While it is possible for a mother to momentarily forget or overlook certain aspects, the underlying love and connection remain strong. The second part of the statement emphasizes that even if a mother were to forget, there is a higher power or entity that will never forget or forsake the individual, ensuring constant care and protection.

No parent is perfect, regardless of their qualities. At times, they may overlook what holds significance for you or fail to comprehend your perspective. However, it's important to remember that you have a heavenly Parent who embodies perfection in every aspect.

As your perfect parent, my love for you is unwavering and free from mistakes. I possess an innate ability to perceive your needs and comprehend your emotions. Even in the presence of imperfect individuals in your life, you can always rely on me for support. I am here to empathize with you, offering understanding and assistance whenever you require it. I will guide you in respecting your parents, even when they falter, and my love for you will remain faultless, showering you with its perfection.

In these words, Jesus emphasizes the importance of childlike qualities in receiving the kingdom of God. He teaches that genuine faith and humility, characteristics often found in children, are essential for entering the kingdom. This statement challenges individuals to approach their spiritual journey with a childlike openness, trust, and dependence on God. By embracing these qualities, one can experience the transformative power of God's kingdom and fully partake in its blessings and promises.

Chapter 3

In a world that often pressures us to mature before we're ready, it can be refreshing to embrace a different perspective. Instead of succumbing to the notion of growing up too quickly, I encourage you to hold onto a childlike heart and attitude. Those who strive to be overly cool and "grown up" may find themselves feeling out of place in my kingdom. Embracing the joy, curiosity, and innocence of childhood can bring a sense of belonging and keep your spirit alive.

Having a childlike heart and attitude means embracing qualities that are often associated with children. It involves having a sense of trust and innocence, like how little children rely on and trust their parents. It also means approaching life with an unwavering excitement and curiosity, just as children do. By adopting a childlike heart and attitude, one can cultivate a deep sense of trust, enthusiasm, and wonder, bringing joy and a fresh perspective into their lives.

Life is a journey filled with moments of trust, belief, and joy. Instead of chasing the elusive idea of being cool, focus on cultivating trust in yourself and others. Believe in your abilities and the power of positive thinking. Embrace life's uncertainties with a steadfast hope that serves as an anchor for your soul. Find joy in the simple pleasures and experiences that bring you fulfillment. Ultimately, it is through trust, belief, and having fun that we can navigate life's challenges and discover true happiness.

Chapter 4

Riding on a big boat offers the freedom to explore various destinations without feeling tied down. You can effortlessly traverse from one place to another, indulging in the excitement of the journey. However, amidst the constant motion, it's easy to overlook the absence of an anchor. Only when you desire to halt and find stability in one spot do you realize its absence. The anchor serves as a symbol of grounding and stability, reminding us of the importance of finding moments of stillness amidst life's rapid pace.

In moments of stillness or during turbulent times, having an anchor becomes essential to prevent drifting or weathering the storm. Just like a boat needs an anchor to remain steady and secure, we too require something that keeps us grounded and stable. An anchor serves as a reliable foundation, allowing us to find balance and ride out the challenges that come our way. It provides a sense of security and stability, enabling us to pause, reflect, and navigate through life's unpredictable waters with resilience and strength.

In the fast-paced nature of life, it is often effortless to find oneself caught up in a perpetual rush, unaware of the essence of tranquility. However, deep within the core of every individual resides an innate yearning for stillness and serenity. We all possess an inherent need for a steadfast sense of security, especially when faced with the tempestuous storms that life may present.

I am here to be your anchor, providing you with the peace and tranquility to sit still and find rest. With me, you'll have the security to weather life's wildest storms. My presence offers unwavering support and love. Let me be the one to anchor your life, grounding you in the strength and stability of my affection.

Chapter 5

Once upon a time, there was a man who was searching for the truth. He had heard stories of a man named Jesus and wanted to know more. He journeyed far and wide, asking everyone he could find for information. Everyone he spoke to told him something different, so he was no closer to finding the truth. One day, after months of searching, he finally found Jesus. He was filled with joy and disbelief that he had actually found him. He begged Jesus to tell him the truth.

Jesus looked into the man's eyes and said, “Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.” The man was filled with awe and understanding. He had found the truth he had been searching for and realized that even those who had not seen Jesus could still believe in him. The man thanked Jesus for his wisdom and went on his way, spreading the word of what he had learned. He told others of the truth and encouraged them to believe in something they could not see. 

And so, it was through this man's journey and Jesus' words that the power of faith and the beauty of believing in something unseen was made known. Once upon a time, there was a family who wanted to go to the mall. So they all got into the car and started driving off.  The youngest child in the family was a bit hesitant and worried. He wasn't sure if they would get there safely or not. He thought to himself, "Maybe we'll get there; maybe we won't." But the parents had faith. They trusted in the car, the driver, and the road. They believed that they would get to the mall safely, and that nothing would go wrong. 

The child watched in amazement as they drove off, and suddenly it clicked in his head. He realized that his parents had faith in the situation, and so did he. He had faith that nothing would go wrong on the way to the mall and that they would make it there safely. This was the power of everyday faith. It was something that everyone had, and something that could get them through anything. Even if they couldn't see it, they believed in it. 

So the family went on their way to the mall, and sure enough, they made it there safely. The child was amazed by how his faith had gotten them there, and he learned a valuable lesson that day. From then on, the family always had faith in themselves, the car, and the road. They knew that if they put their faith in the right things, they could make it anywhere. Once upon a time there was a young woman who had a strong and unwavering faith in God, but she was struggling to understand how to use that faith to believe in Him in ways she couldn't see Him. 

One day, she decided to go for a walk in nature to try and find answers. As she walked, she was amazed at the beauty of the world around her- the trees, the birds, the sunlight- and she began to realize that in all of creation, God was there, even if she couldn't see Him directly.

This realization made her feel a little stronger in her faith and made her want to learn how to use it to trust God even in ways she couldn't physically see Him. She began to read the Bible more and more, and soon her faith began to grow and take shape. She started to see God's hand in the miraculous things that happened every day- a kind word from a stranger, a particularly beautiful sunset, a baby bird being cared for by its mother- and began to understand that God was there, guiding her and loving her even when she couldn't see Him.

She continued to practice her faith and learn how to trust God even though she couldn't see Him physically. She knew that He was always with her, and that she could use her faith to believe in Him even when she couldn't see Him. She was encouraged by the Bible's words that she could use this same kind of faith to believe in Him, and that He was never truly unseen. 

The young woman had found the answers she was looking for, and she was grateful for her newfound understanding of how to use her faith to trust in God. She felt a newfound peace and joy, and she was sure that no matter what life threw at her, she had the faith to get through it. Once upon a time, there were twelve disciples. They had followed Jesus and believed in Him, but had never seen Him in the flesh. One day, they were taken to a mountain top, and there they saw Jesus in the flesh. They were astounded and couldn't believe their eyes. 

The disciples were filled with joy and amazement, and they all bowed down and worshipped Jesus. They were so filled with awe that they could hardly speak. Jesus spoke to the disciples and told them that they were blessed, but that they could be even more blessed if they believed in Him with their faith. He told them that faith was more powerful than seeing Him with their eyes. The disciples learned an important lesson that day; the power of faith was greater than even seeing Jesus in the flesh. They learned to trust in Jesus and His promises, and to never doubt His power or His love. The disciples went out and shared the good news with others, telling them about Jesus and the power of faith. They were blessed, and others were blessed because of their faith.

Chapter 6

Once upon a time, there was a young mother who had just given birth to a beautiful baby. Despite the joy of the new arrival, the mother was struggling with her mental health. She was finding it difficult to find the energy and motivation to care for her new baby and was overwhelmed with feelings of sadness and exhaustion. One day the mother became so overwhelmed with her emotions that she was unable to even look at her baby. She put her child down and walked away, unable to face the reality of her situation.

The baby lay there, alone and forgotten. Though the mother had forgotten her child, the baby never forgot her. She waited patiently for her mother's return, yearning for her mother's love and affection. Fortunately, an angel had been watching over the baby and guided the mother back to her beloved child. As the mother lifted the baby into her arms, she was filled with an overwhelming sense of love and compassion that she had never felt before. The baby's love had melted her heart and she was now determined to love and care for her child no matter the cost.

Though the mother may have forgotten her baby in a moment of despair, the baby was never forgotten. The love and compassion the mother had for her child was so strong that it could never be forgotten. And it was a reminder that no matter how bad things may seem, a mother's love and compassion will never be forgotten. Once upon a time, there was a young girl who had a difficult situation with her parents. No matter how hard she tried, they just didn't seem to understand her or meet her needs. She was frustrated and confused and often felt alone.

One day, she had a realization that she had a heavenly Parent who was perfect in every way. She began to call out to this heavenly Parent and pray for wisdom and understanding. Soon, she felt a peace come over her. She knew that no matter what her earthly parents were like, they would never be perfect. But she had a heavenly Father who could provide her with all the love and understanding she needed.

The young girl soon found that she was able to talk to her heavenly Father about anything and everything. She felt comforted and understood, and she was grateful for the relationship she had with her heavenly Parent. No matter how difficult things may seem, the young girl was grateful that she had a heavenly Parent who was perfect in every way. She was thankful for the comfort and peace she had found in her relationship with this heavenly Father.

Once upon a time, there was a perfect parent. They loved their child with a love that was unwavering and unconditional. No matter what the child did, the parent was there to listen and understand. The parent was a source of strength in times of difficulty. When the child faced challenges from other people, the parent was there to provide comfort and safety. The parent was patient and kind, and had a way of understanding the child's feelings and needs.

The parent was also a source of wisdom. They provided guidance and advice that helped the child navigate through life and make important decisions. The perfect parent was there to provide a listening ear and a shoulder to cry on during the highs and lows of growing up. The perfect parent was always there with perfect love. No matter the circumstance, the parent was there to love and support the child. They provided a safe and comfortable environment in which the child could grow and flourish.

The perfect parent was a source of comfort and security for the child. They were a constant reminder that love and understanding are always available, even when other people make mistakes. They were a reminder that even if the world isn't always perfect, the perfect parent will always be there for their child. Once upon a time, there was a wise and generous king who wanted to share his kingdom with everyone. But he had a strict rule: anyone who wanted to enter his kingdom had to come as a little child.

At first, many of his subjects were confused and frustrated. They had grown up and were proud of their accomplishments. How could they be expected to enter the kingdom as a child? But the wise king had a plan. He told his subjects the truth: anyone who will not receive his kingdom as a little child will never enter it. He explained that to enter the kingdom, they must come with the innocence and childlike faith of a child, trusting that the king was offering something wonderful and good.

So, the people of the kingdom opened their hearts and minds and accepted the king’s offer. As they did, they realized that the kingdom was a place of joy and peace, and that the king was offering them a life of fulfillment. The kingdom of God is open to all who come as little children. It is a place of joy and peace, and anyone who will accept it with the innocence and trust of a child will find a life of fulfillment.

Chapter 7

Once upon a time, there was a young girl who felt like the world was telling her to grow up faster than she was ready. She felt like she was missing out on the joy of childhood, and none of her peers seemed to understand. One day, she stumbled upon a mysterious kingdom. She was welcomed with open arms by the magical inhabitants of the land. The King of the kingdom, however, had a special message for her: "Keep a childlike heart and a childlike attitude. People who get too cool and 'grown up' will never feel at home in my kingdom. They will never understand the power of our joy and dreams."

The young girl was inspired by the King's words, and she embraced her inner child with a newfound joy. She reveled in the freedom and playfulness of the kingdom, and she felt a deep connection to the magical beings who inhabited it. The young girl spent many happy years in this magical kingdom, full of laughter and joy. Eventually, the day came when she had to leave the kingdom and return to the real world. But the King's words stayed with her, and she vowed to never forget the importance of keeping a childlike heart and attitude. Whenever she felt the world was telling her to grow up before she was ready, she reminded herself of the King's words, and found solace in his message. 

The young girl never forgot her time in this magical kingdom, and the lessons she learned there. She continued to embrace her inner child, and to never forget the power of joy and dreams. Once upon a time there was a young adult who was struggling to find their place in the world. They had a hard time connecting with others and often felt isolated and alone.

One day, they were walking along, feeling particularly down, when they suddenly heard a voice. It was a gentle, childlike voice that said, “You know how little children are always ready to trust their parents? I want you to trust me like that. You know how little kids are excited about life? I want you to have that same kind of excitement.” The young adult was taken aback by this sudden voice and began to ponder its meaning. What did it mean to have a childlike heart and attitude? Could they really trust the world and be excited about life in the same way a child is?

The young adult decided to give it a try. They focused on trusting the world and the people around them, and not letting fear or doubt overwhelm them. They looked for joy in the little things and appreciated the beauty in the world. They opened their heart and allowed themselves to be vulnerable and honest with others. The young adult noticed a difference in themselves almost immediately. They began to connect with people more easily and found that they were now looking forward to life with a refreshing sense of anticipation and joy.

The young adult had found the key to unlocking a childlike heart and attitude. It was a valuable lesson that they would carry with them for the rest of their life. Once upon a time, there was a young man who felt like the world was against him. He was constantly trying to be cool to fit in with everyone else, but it always felt like an uphill battle. He felt like no matter what he did, it was never enough. One day, he met an old wise man who told him, "Trust me, believe me, and have fun in your life. Forget about being cool." The young man was surprised by the words of the wise man and decided to take his advice.

He started to focus on having fun and doing things he enjoyed, rather than worrying about being cool. He began to make friends and form meaningful relationships, rather than trying to impress people with his coolness. Soon, the young man began to feel better than he ever had before. He found true joy in his life and was grateful for the hope that the wise man had given him. The hope of being accepted and loved for who he was. The hope of an anchor of the soul that enters within the veil.

Chapter 8

Once upon a time, there was a big boat that could take its passengers anywhere they wanted to go. It had a powerful engine that could propel it at great speeds, so the passengers could get to their destination quickly. However, one thing the passengers didn't notice was that the boat had no anchor. This meant that wherever the boat went, it stayed there until it was ready to move on.

At first, this seemed like a great thing - the passengers could explore the world and never worry about missing out on a great adventure. But eventually, the passengers realized that they could never stay in one spot for too long, no matter how much they wanted to. This started to become a problem, as the passengers wanted to stay in one spot and explore a certain area in more depth. They realized that without an anchor, they would never be able to do that.

So the passengers decided to come up with a plan. They gathered some rope, and fashioned an anchor from it. Then, when they wanted to stay in one spot for a while, they would drop the anchor and stay put. This worked great - the passengers could explore an area for as long as they wanted, and never worry about missing out on anything. Whenever they were ready to move on, they would simply pull up the anchor and continue on their journey.

The passengers loved their new anchor, and were so glad they had thought of the idea. From then on, they never had to worry about missing out on any of their adventures. Once upon a time there was a sailor who longed to explore the seas. He set out on his boat with little more than the clothes on his back and a desire to explore. The sailor would spend days and nights afloat, exploring the different places the ocean had to offer. But when it was time to settle down and be still, the sailor lacked an anchor to keep his boat from drifting away.

One day, the sailor found himself in a stormy sea. Knowing that he could not weather the storm without an anchor, he searched the shore for something to hold him steady. He was about to give up hope when he spotted a large rock near the shore. The sailor used a rope to tie the rock to the boat. He then dug a hole in the sand and placed the rock in it, using it as an anchor. As the storm raged around him, the sailor felt secure knowing that he had a reliable anchor to keep him from drifting away.

The sailor spent the night in the storm, and when morning came, the storm had passed and the boat was still securely anchored. The sailor was relieved and thankful that he had found an anchor to keep him safe during the storm. From then on, the sailor made sure he had an anchor whenever he was away from shore. He knew that having an anchor was essential for any sailor who wanted to explore the seas.

Once upon a time, there was a person who lived a life filled with rushing around and never stopping to take a moment for themselves. They felt a sense of emptiness and longing for stillness in their life, yet had no idea how to get it.  One day, they met another person who saw them and all their struggles. This person wanted to give the first person an anchor, something they could hold onto and rely on in the stormy weather of life. This person offered them love, peace, and security. 

The first person accepted this offer, and together, the two of them began to build a life. They shared moments of stillness and peace, and even in the most chaotic of times, they found a sense of security in one another. The first person was no longer alone in their struggles, and they had the anchor of the other person's love to keep them grounded. They felt safe and secure and could finally take a moment to rest. This story reminds us that when life gets tough, we all need an anchor to keep us grounded. Love and security can give us the peace to sit still and the courage to ride out life's wild storms.
