*  K-5th Graders                 Forgiveness --
                                            Deciding that someone who has wronged you doesn't have to pay.
             
John 3:16 says, "For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that who ever believes in Him will have eternal life." 

When we forgive others, it is a response to that great love and forgiveness that God has shown us.  Forgiveness means letting go of what someone else has done to us in order to restore the relationship.  Isn't that what God did through His Son Jesus?  He knew that we couldn't restore the relationship on our own.  And He loves us so much and wants to be in a relationship with us that He sent His Son -- our Savior and Lord -- to restore our relationship with Him.  Remember Genesis 3:8...God was walking in the garden looking for Adam and Eve! 

Things to think about this month with your children:
1.  Forgiveness is a response to God first forgiving us.
2.  Forgiveness is a way we can show others God's love for us.
3.  Forgiveness can restore broken relationships.
4.  Being forgiven can change the way we live. 

All of this and much more can be found on our website:  www.hebronkidz.org.
