Courage

Not Everyone Will Like It

"If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you."
John 15:18

Reflection

Doing right sometimes leaves you alone at recess. Jesus warned it would be like that and promised not to let go of your hand.

Prayer

Jesus, give me courage when doing right leaves me alone. Amen!

Talk about it as a family

  2. What did Jesus warn about?
  3. What did He promise?
