MEMORY VERSE
“See how very much our Father loves us, for he calls us his children, and that is what we are!” (1 John 3:1a NLT))

Hey Kids! This month, at our Kidz Life Live service, our superhero is Joseph! Joseph’s dad, Jacob, loved him so much and was close to him. Jacob cherished Joseph as his son. So, one day, Joseph’s dad gave him a really awesome and cool looking coat with many colors that all his friends and brothers wanted too! He wore it all the time because it made him feel the special love his dad had for him.

Did you ever get a gift that made you feel so special and important? Every time you looked at it, you smiled on the inside and out because you knew the person that gave it to you loved you so much? Well, that is the heart of God. Every day, God is looking at you and wanting to show you how GREAT, how BIG, how so GIGANTIC His love is for you!!! And He wants to make you feel special, important and so amazing inside and out! God’s love for you is so real because you are His child, so very precious and dear to His heart.

God picked you all for Himself to have fun with! To be with you for your whole life. You belong to God…you are His son, His daughter! Every day He places His hands upon you to bless you, and protect you, and to strengthen you.
Did you know that the Bible is God’s Word? In the Bible, God tells you how He feels about you! Do you want to know some of what God says about you in the Bible? Here are just a few things He says:

1. God chose you as His very own because He loves you (Ephesians 1:4 TPT)

2. You are God’s masterpiece (Ephesians 2:10 NLT)

3. You are more valuable to God than anything else in this world (Luke 12:7 TPT)

4. Every single moment God is thinking of you (Psalm 139:17 TPT)

5. God cherishes you in His thoughts constantly (Psalm 139:17-18 TPT)

6. You are cherished & precious in God’s eyes and He loves you dearly
(Isaiah 43:4 TPT)

Whatever God says is final. It is the truth. Like at the end of a football game, the final score is final, right? No one can change it. It’s the same with God’s Word. What is in the Bible is FINAL, no one can change it. Even if you or anyone else think you are not important or not special, God’s Word is bigger than those thoughts! REMEMBER HIS WORDS ARE FINAL!!!

Today, more than anything, God wants you to know how much He loves you and He has many special gifts for you and one of them is His great love for you!

BIBLE READING
Psalm 139:13-18 (TPT)

You made my whole being; you formed me in my mother’s body. I praise you because you made me in an amazing [awesome] and wonderful way. What you have done is wonderful. I know this very well. You saw my bones being formed as I took shape in my mother’s body
When I was put together there, you saw my body as it was formed all the days planned for me were written in your book before I was one day old. God, your thoughts are precious to me. They are so many! If I could count them, they would be more than all the grains of sand. When I wake up, I am still with you.

PLEDGE OF HONOR
“I am a child of God. I know that God, My Father, loves me and has given me many special gifts to fulfill my purpose.”
