When we memorize Scripture and remember God’s truth, it helps us make wise choices, avoid wrong actions, and stay close to Him.

When we answer wrong with good, we show God’s love and strength at work in us.

Luke 6:31 teaches a simple and powerful truth: we should treat others the way we want to be treated.

This verse teaches them a simple truth they can hold onto: whenever they feel afraid, they can turn to God and trust Him to help.

James 1:5 reminds kids that whenever they don’t know what to do, they can ask God for wisdom. God loves to help us, and He gives wisdom generously when we ask. Whether it’s making a choice, handling a problem, or knowing the right way to act, God is always ready to guide us.

Philippians 4:13 reminds kids that they’re never alone when they face something hard, new, or uncertain.

This truth is just as powerful for children today.

They don’t have to come up with love on their own; they can share the love God has already poured into their hearts.
