There’s a different way. A different way for those who experience suffering. A different way to view sadness. A different way to love those who have hurt you. A different way to see people.
Sometimes I think how unfair it is when I have to suffer or mourn loss, or how angry I could get with those who have wronged me. I decide in my heart I’m justified in my thoughts. My human nature says it’s fine to be mad. It’s easier to put up a wall or hold a grudge than to be forgiving. I like to control the narrative and decide what works for me.
But Jesus says there’s a different way, and it’s about His kingdom and His heart. Jesus taught His disciples this so they could be like Him.
Read Matthew 5:1–12.
Our brokenness can be the tool God uses to not only show His power and heart, but His power can be displayed in us as we show others a different way to live. Our joy and blessedness come from His transforming power in our lives. He can transform His kingdom in a different way, a way that displays His heart to the world.
How can you help kids see the heart of Jesus today? How can you help kids see a different way today?
