God’s love is intentional
📖 Bible Verse
“But when the set time had fully come, God sent His Son…” — Galatians 4:4
🕊️ Story / Reflection
Have you ever done something on purpose?
Maybe you chose to help someone, share your snack, or say something kind.
You didn’t do it by accident — you chose to do it.
God’s love is like that too.
God didn’t send Jesus by accident. He had a plan from the very beginning.
At the right time, in the right place, God sent Jesus into the world — on purpose.
Jesus came because God loves us deeply. He came to save us, teach us, and bring us close to God.
Everything about Jesus’ life shows us that God’s love is thoughtful, planned, and intentional.
That means you are not here by accident either.
God knows you, loves you, and has a purpose for your life.
💡 Lesson
God loves me on purpose, and Jesus came on purpose.
🙏 Prayer
Dear God,
Thank You for loving me on purpose.
Thank You for sending Jesus at the right time.
Help me to remember that I am part of Your plan.
Amen.
