Kids ask...

Love with contributions from Monica Karal

God is Love and will always love us. God can’t be mad at us or stop caring for us. God is our loving Mother-Father, and we are God’s children, or reflection. As God’s reflection we are naturally kind, honest, loving, and patient. But sometimes we may keep doing something wrong because we are thinking something about ourselves or others that does not come from God.

When I was younger, sometimes I did not like to share my things with other kids. I thought that if I shared what I had, I would not have enough for myself. But then I learned from Jesus’ teachings in the Bible that if you are generous and share things with others, you will always have everything you need. Jesus said, “Give to others, and you will receive” (Luke 6:38, Easy-to-Read Version). When I learned that God is very good to everyone, I started to change. I stopped being afraid to share what I had. I found that it is fun to share, because then you see other people enjoying good things just like you do.

God corrects us by giving us right thoughts to replace wrong thoughts. Then we naturally stop doing things that are wrong.
