| Don’t worry about anything; instead pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank Him for all He has done. If you do this, you will experience God’s peace, which is far more wonderful than the human mind can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4 : 6 - 7 |

Daddy loves you. He wants to be with you. He wants to
take care of you.
If there is anything I hope you learn it's these 3 things.
Jesus taught us to call God "Abba" (daddy) for good
reason. A good father loves his children like God loves us.
If you have been blessed with a good father, then you
know what this means. If not, you can still learn, although
you may need to look at other children's fathers to see a
picture of it. He has told you how to live so you can be
happy and healthy and more like Jesus - not so you can
keep a lot of rules trying to be good boys and girls. All He
has asked is that you love Him with all that you are and
that you love other people as much as you love yourself. If
you really do that, you don't need to worry about rules
because you'll already be doing what He wants. You
should try to see how Jesus lived His life and try to live
like that. Try to be as much like Him as you can. You'll
need to ask for help from God just like Jesus did - He
never did anything by Himself.
And it will all be a lot easier if you learn as much as you
can about His Word (the Bible) and you spend time in
prayer and in worship as often as you can. It also helps to
spend as much time as you can with other children your
age who love Jesus. The more you do these things, the
more you can live without worry or fear, knowing how
much you are loved and cared for. And you can help
others learn to live that way too.
Hey . . . smile! God loves it when you're happy!
take care of you.
