«Prepare to meet your God, O Israel!» Amos 4:12
What do your mom and dad do when they go on a trip? They pack a suitcase with clothes, shoes, hygiene products... I imagine that you put some favorite toys in your suitcase too, right?
And when you are going to meet an important person, how do you like to prepare yourself? Do you take a shower? Do you put on nice clothes? Comb your hair? Put on some perfume? The person you are going to meet will not like it if you look all messy, sweaty, and wear dirty clothes.
Do you remember that God told His secrets to the prophets, and they wrote them down in the Bible? One day we will have an encounter with God. On that day it won’t be important what clothes you are wearing, but we will tell Him all the choices we made. You will tell Him whether you chose to be a good child or a bad child.
So, you must prepare yourself for this meeting every day, for your heart to be very clean.
Let’s practice!
Tell your mom how you want your heart to be when you meet Jesus.
