E-Mail From God For Kids

You may not realize it, but faith is something you use every day. If you get into the car with your parents to go to the mall, you don't sit there the whole trip and say,

"Maybe we'll get there; maybe we won't." No, you just assume that if you're heading to the mall, then you'll get to the mall. You trust in what you can see, like the driver, the road, and the car. But you also trust in things you can't see. You trust that other drivers won't smash into you, that a part of the engine won't fall out, that a tree won't fall right in your way. That's everyday faith, and everybody has it.

You can use this same kind of faith to believe in me. I'm not totally unseen. You see me in nature's beauty, in miraculous things that happen around you every day, and in the Bible. But you will have to learn to use your faith to trust me in ways you can't see me-like physically.

The disciples saw Jesus in the flesh and believed. But you are even more blessed when you believe with your faith.

The One You can Believe In,

God

Can a mother forget [her] baby... and have no compassion on the Child she has borne? Though she may forget, I will not forget you! No matter what your parents are like, they won't ever be perfect. Sometimes they will forget about what's important to you. Sometimes they won't understand what you want them to understand. But you have a heavenly Parent who is perfect in every way.

I'm your perfect Parent. I love you with a love that never makes a mistake. I always see what you need and understand how you feel. When the people in your life aren't perfect, you can turn to me. I'll be here to understand you and help you. I'll help you respect your parents, even when they make mistakes. And I will love you with my perfect love.
