Love letter from God

Submitted by brsmover on

Many and all Bible-based statements that become a love letter from our Creator to you.

Methodology

The love letter is written in such a way that you can say the statements to the children. You don't necessarily have to mention the Bible passages each time, but of course you can.

One way is to tell this letter to the children after the Nighttime creation game.
Especially if you've done it at night, on a hopefully clear night, you can direct the listeners' gaze upward to the starry sky at the beginning. This lets one make the introduction about how the one who stretches out the starry sky for us like a tent (Isaiah 40) loves us so infinitely.
Following this, one can speak the love letter to them and also emphasize that this is how God feels about each and every one of them.

From Isaiah 40, I have noted below some statements that are meant to glorify God and that fit well with the devotional.

Statements from Isaiah 40

12 Who has measured the waters with the hollow of his hand? Who hath marked out the heavens with a span, and compassed the dust of the earth in a measure? Who has weighed the mountains with scales, and the hills with scales?

13 Who hath searched out the mind of the LORD, and who hath instructed him for counsel?

14 Whom did He ask for counsel, that He might make Him understanding, and teach Him the way of right, and teach Him knowledge, and show Him the way of understanding?

15 ... he lifts up the isles like a speck of dust!

18 To whom then will ye liken God? Or what likeness will ye set by his side?

22 It is he who is enthroned above the circle of the earth, and before whom its inhabitants are as grasshoppers; who spreads out the heavens like a veil, and stretches them out like a tent to dwell in;

25 To whom then will ye liken me, to whom shall I be like?" saith the Holy One.

26 Lift up your eyes on high, and see, Who created these? He that bringeth forth their host numbered, he calleth them all by name. So great is his power, and so strong is he, that not one is missed.

28 Do you not know, have you not heard? The everlasting God, the LORD, who created the ends of the earth, does not grow weary nor faint; his understanding is inexhaustible!

29 He gives strength to the weary, and fortitude enough to the impotent.

30 Boys grow weary and faint, and young men stumble and fall; 31 but those who wait on the LORD get new strength, that they may mount up with wings like eagles, that they may run and not grow faint, that they may walk and not grow weary.

Just verse 30 is a good way to end by adapting it to the appropriate audience (e.g. Ameisli, Jungschi, Teenie, Leiter, etc.).
