God’s Thoughts

«Seek the Lord while he may be found, call upon him while he is near [...]. For he will abundantly pardon.» Isaiah 55:6-7

When a colleague treats you poorly, what do you do? Do you cry? Do you treat your colleague poorly, too?

After sin entered Adam and Eve’s life, every little baby that was born became a sinner, with a mind very different from the mind of God. God is love! God is goodness. All humans are born selfish and tend to have a bad behavior.

God could have said to Adam and Eve: “I don’t want you anymore! Now I’m going to create another Adam and Eve because you disobeyed me!” But God said: “I want to forgive you! I want you to live forever one day! I will die in your place.”

So, all the people who do bad things are loved by Jesus. He wants them all to be in Heaven. But they need to be friends with Jesus and let Him change their heart and mind to be like His mind.

Let’s practice!

Draw a picture of the loving heart of Jesus and make your own heart next to His heart.
