DISCUSSION TOPIC:
Read this month's memory verse: "Put up with one another. Forgive one another if you are holding something against someone. Forgive, just as the Lord forgave you." COLOSSIANS 3:13, NIrV Discuss with your child: God says that loving others means making the first move. Whether you need to be forgiven or whether you need to forgive, if something is wrong between you and someone else, you need to take a step to make things right. You might even say that choosing to make peace with others through forgiveness is one of the best gifts you can give God! Let's say a prayer together to ask God to help us make the first move to forgive. |
