Jesus Helps Me Obey

📖 Bible Verse

“If you love me, keep my commands.”
— John 14:15 

🕊️ Story / Reflection

Obeying means listening and doing what is right. 

Sometimes it feels easy to obey, and sometimes it feels hard, especially when we don’t feel like listening.

Jesus understands this. He obeyed God even when it was difficult, because He loved God and trusted Him. 

Jesus wants to help us obey, too. When we ask Him, He gives us the strength to listen, make good choices, and do what is right.

Obeying doesn’t mean we never make mistakes. It means we keep trying, with Jesus helping us every step of the way.

When we listen to our parents, teachers, and God’s Word, we are showing love. Obedience helps keep us safe and helps us grow. Jesus is always ready to help us make the right choice.
