Life isnāt easy. This is no surprise to most of us, but we sometimes hope to shelter kids from the challenges that surround us. Itās important to share with children that, although this world has trials, God is with us through them and helps us with them. This lesson is a reminder that we canāt argue with Godās plan. We donāt always understand His will and His ways, and things might not go as weād hope. However, everything happens for a reason, and we can trust that God has our best in mind in the end, and He gives us strength for the journey.Ā
Ā We donāt always want to hear about denying ourselves and suffering for the sake of Christ. After all, doesnāt God love us? Shouldnāt a Christian life be full of blessing? This passage can be a hard one to swallow, but itās important to recall that the Lord is with us through all that happens. In fact, Jesus suffered most of all, giving His own life for us. Because of that suffering, we know He walks with us through hard things and understands them. Jesus paid the ultimate price and fulfilled Godās plan for salvation. We can trust that Godās plan for our lives will come to great things in the end, even if we walk through challenges.Ā
