I Can Be Kind Because God Loves Me
📖 Bible Verse
“Be kind and compassionate to one another.”
— Ephesians 4:32a
🕊️ Story / Reflection
Kindness means choosing to do good to others with our words and actions.
Sometimes it’s easy to be kind, like when we’re playing with friends.
Other times it can feel hard, especially when someone is unkind to us.
God shows us kindness every day. He loves us, forgives us, and cares for us even when we make mistakes.
Because God loves us so much, He helps our hearts learn how to be kind to others, too.
💡 Lesson
Because God loves me:
- I can use kind words
- I can share
- I can help others
- I can forgive
God’s love helps me choose kindness.
🙏 Prayer
Dear God,
Thank You for loving me so much.
Please help me to be kind like You.
Help my words and actions show Your love.
Amen.
