Singing Over Me

The Lord your God wins victory after victory and is always with you. He celebrates and sings because of you, and he will refresh your life with his love.

Zephaniah 3:17 (CEV)

Do you ever get so happy or excited you just want to burst out singing? Woohoo! What makes you that excited?

Guess what? God feels like that, too. And do you know what he gets most excited about? You!

Like a soldier who has won the battle, an athlete who won the game, or a mother who holds her brand new baby in her arms, God has joy when he sees you. He has joy when you decide to be his child and sit with him, and talk with him. He loves when his kids love him, obey him, and say they are sorry when they mess up. He celebrates!

When you spend time with God, it makes him happy. Even if you’ve done wrong things, you can ask him to forgive you. You can always come back to him no matter what. You can choose to love him.

And spending time with God will make you happy, too. You always have a place where you belong with God. Imagine! The God of all creation celebrates you. Thank you, God!

HERO TRAINING

Spending time with God makes him happy AND you happy. Make up your own silly song to sing to God to let him know how great he is.

GOD'S WONDERFUL WORLD

Baby birds must learn how to sing. They listen to their parents and copy them.
