«Beloved, do not imitate what is evil, but what is good. He who does good is of God, but he who does evil has not seen God.» 3 John 1:11
Dear child, God created you in His likeness. And He created you to have a character like His.
Character is how you treat people, how you act when no one is looking. It is about being kind, honest, and loving. It is about sharing snacks, toys, helping friends and telling the truth.
John, God’s great friend, wrote some letters to Jesus’s followers. He said we should have a good character by not doing bad things.
He said that children should do what is good because the one who does good is of God. But the one who does evil is not a friend of God.
How do you treat your little friends? When we do good things, we are spreading love. And when we spread love, we are like Jesus. You want to look like Jesus, don’t you?
Let’s practice!
The next time you go out with your parents, prepare a tasty snack to give to a needy person on the street. They will be happy. Jesus will be happy and so will you!
