God Is Good

TALKING TO GOD

Thank God for offering His gift of friendship and love to you, and ask Him to help you know and love Him more.

DIVING IN

Make a favourite fun drink (smoothie, root beer float, milk shake, etc.) for each family member. Give each person a straw to drink from. Then challenge them to drink the liquid without letting the straw touch it.

GOING DEEPER

When you tried to drink without letting the straw touch the liquid, you discovered that it didn’t work. It’s only when the liquid surrounds the straw that the goodness can flow from the cup and through the straw.

Jesus said only God is good (Luke 18:19), so you cannot become good without Him. In order to truly “drink in” God’s goodness, you have to immerse yourself in Him. That’s like drinking in His goodness. You can do this by accepting Jesus as your Lord and Saviour and pursuing a relationship with Him. God works in your heart to help you recognise and do His will (Philippians 2:13). As you pray and learn from God’s Word, you will grow in your relationship with Him, and His goodness will develop in you.

TALKING TO EACH OTHER

• What are some things that keep you from doing this?
