The Blessing of You a 5-Day Devotional for Kids by Mark Batterson and Summer Batterson DaileySample

Day Five: The Blessing of You!

“And may you know [God’s] love, even though it can’t be known completely. Then you will be filled with everything God has for you.”

—Ephesians 3:19, NIRV

You can love others in your own special way.

You can bless others with joy every day!

Hold this promise down deep in your heart: 

God has blessed you right from the start.

How do I know that all this is true?

The blessing of God is the blessing of you.

Devotion

Did you know that you are one of God’s biggest blessings? You bless people just by being who you are—a unique child of God! No one else in all of history, anywhere in the world, throughout the whole galaxy, can bless people in exactly the way you can. God blesses you so you can bless others. That’s what’s called a double blessing and it’s one of God’s best ideas!

Prayer

Dear God, thank you for blessing me so I can be a blessing to others! I want to be who you are calling me to be. I love you! Amen.

Activity

Draw a picture of yourself while you’re looking in a mirror. (That’s called a self-portrait!) At the top of your picture, write or have a grown-up write: I am a BLESSING!
