Does God Forgive Me? [Paperback]

What if something I say hurts one of my friends?
Then God gives you new words that help to heal and mend.
And if my mistakes pile up to the sky?
Then God helps you correct them so they dont multiply.

Will God still love us if we do bad things? Will we be forgiven if we hurt a friends feelings? Using simple, everyday examples that children can relate to, this colorful book helps young readers understand the importance of apologizing and reconciling after weve done something wrong.

A vibrant and fun way for children to develop a deeper understanding of God, this book gently guides children down their own path of spiritual discovery & and reminds us all that God will always love us.

You are never too young nor too old to consider the power and importance of forgiveness. Children's emotions explode, they yell at siblings, throw plates of food on the floor, kick toys to the floor or say things they don't mean, like I hate you. But moms and dads are there to forgive and model what it means. They don't expect a perfect child and they know what it means to make mistakes themselves. Kids wonder whether God will be so understanding and forgiving. The best we can say is: No matter what you say or what you ever do, God's loving heart Never closes to you.

You can bank on that! God's love doesn't punish and doesn't blame and is always there to welcome us back. That's a gigantic love that calls us to the work of apologizing and reconciling.

God's forgiveness is forever no ifs or ands or buts! God forgives every one of us no matter why or when or what!
