Summer 2020 - Indescribable: Your Creator Has No Limits Week 3
Indescribable: Your Creator Has No Limits
Lesson: God created you
Bible Passage: The Story of Esther
What does the word “purpose” mean? (Something you’re meant for.) What do you think was one of Esther’s purposes in life? (To save the Jewish people.) What skills or talents did Esther use to fulfill her purpose? (She was brave, she was patient, she spoke well.)
In our activity today, we talked about the qualities that make people helpful. What is one quality or skill God gave you that makes you helpful?
Did you know that when you help someone, or show someone kindness, you are fulfilling part of God’s purpose for your life? God created you to do big, incredible, awesome things. Just like Esther, God created you for a purpose.
Memory Verse:
“Lord, you are great. You are really worthy of praise. No one can completely understand how great you are.” Psalm 145:3
Simple Prayer:
“God, thank You for creating us so creatively. You choose the color of our eyes, our skin, and our hair. You decided what our handwriting would look like, and whether or not we’d be good at music, sports, video games, or art. And you chose every detail on purpose, FOR a purpose. Thank You for making me with a purpose. Thank You for creating me to do BIG things for others and for You. I love You. Amen.”
