· God shows grace. Grace is a lot easier to accept than to extend. Most kids have no problem believing that God loves and forgives them, even when they don’t deserve it. But when other people are acting hard to love and forgive, passing on God’s grace can be challenging! Help your kids truly immerse themselves in how amazing God’s grace for them is so that they can’t help but let it overflow to others.
· Think About: How has God shown you grace? What good things has he given you that you don’t deserve?
Dig In to Prayer
· Pray that God would help your kids understand the depth of his grace.
