A Kid's Guide To: Trusting God With My TalentsSample

When God Appears
After Jesus had greeted them again, he said, “I am sending you, just as the Father has sent me.”
John 20:21(CEV)
Can you imagine what would happen if God—in all His glory and power— suddenly showed up on Earth so people could see him? The Bible says we would not be able to even handle seeing God in person. It might be like trying to look straight at the bright sun, which we can’t do because it hurts our eyes! The sun is too strong.
Looking straight at God would be hard, too. Actually, it would be impossible. He knew this. So, he became a human—Jesus. People could talk to him, and they knew he understood what it’s like to be human.
Think about all the things Jesus did—healing, feeding, teaching people. He forgave people. He showed them how to love God.
God still uses people to share who is with others. He uses people like you! Today’s verse reminds us that Jesus sends those who believe in Him to do the things He did, such as pray for people, help them, encourage them, and show them how to love God.
Will you let God shine through you this week? His power is something others will see and feel when you serve Him every day.
