🧢 Kingdom Kids Devotional — Day 41

Rooted & Raised

“Don’t do good things just so people will see you.”

— Matthew 6:1 (Paraphrased)

😊 Do It for God

Jesus says that when we do something good, it shouldn’t be to get a gold star or a big cheer. We should do it because we love God!

When no one is looking, and you still choose to help, share, or obey—God sees it. And He is happy with you.

🏛 Long Ago…

Early Christian children were taught to be humble and kind even when no one noticed. They learned that God sees everything done with love.

💡 Think About It:

  • Do I only do good things when someone is watching?
  • Can I be kind today even if no one claps or sees it?

✨ Let’s Pray:

Jesus, help me do the right thing even when no one sees. I want to please You most of all. Amen.

“Be perfect, just like your Father in heaven is perfect.”

✨ Growing to Be Like God

Jesus wants us to grow to be more like God—not by being perfect at everything, but by loving like God does! When we show kindness, tell the truth, and forgive, we are acting like our Heavenly Father.

God knows we won’t always get it right, but He wants us to keep growing every day.

🏛 Long Ago…

Children in the early church learned that God wanted them to grow in love and goodness. They weren’t perfect, but they kept trying to be more like Jesus.

Rooted & Raised

“God lets the sun shine on both good and bad people.”

☀️ Be Like Your Heavenly Father

God is kind to everyone, even people who aren’t kind to Him. When we love others the same way, we show the world what God is like.

You are God’s child when you act like Him. That means being kind to everyone—not just your friends.

🏛 Long Ago…

Christian children were taught that God loved everyone. They learned to show that same love by being kind and helpful, even to those who weren’t always nice.

Rooted & Raised

“Love your enemies and pray for people who are mean to you.”

— Matthew 5:44 (Paraphrased)

😊 Love Like Jesus

It’s easy to be kind to people who are nice to us. But Jesus says we should be kind even to people who are mean! That’s not easy—but with His help, we can do it.

When you pray for someone who hurts your feelings, it helps your heart heal and shows Jesus’ love.

🏛 Long Ago…

Even when Christians were treated badly, they didn’t fight back. They loved with their words and prayers.

  • Has anyone ever been unkind to you?
  • Can you pray for them today?

🧢 Kingdom Kids Devotional — Day 37

Rooted & Raised

“Give to the one who asks you.”

— Matthew 5:42 (Paraphrased)

🌟 Sharing Like Jesus

Jesus says we should help people when they need something. That means giving your friend a toy to play with, or helping your sibling without being asked.

Jesus loves a cheerful giver—someone who gives with a happy heart, not because they have to, but because they love others.

🏛 Long Ago…

Children in the early church were known for being helpful and kind. They learned that everything they had was a gift from God to share.

💡 Think About It:

  • When is it hard for you to share?
  • How can you be generous today?

Jesus, help me to give gladly when someone needs help. Make me more like You every day. Amen.

🧢 Kingdom Kids Devotional — Day 36

Rooted & Raised

“If someone hits you on one cheek, turn the other cheek to them also.”

— Matthew 5:39 (Paraphrased)

👶 Kindness Instead of Payback

Jesus teaches us not to fight back when someone is mean to us. That doesn’t mean we let people keep hurting us—but it means we don’t have to get even.

He wants us to love others like He loves us. And that means showing kindness even when it’s hard.

🏛 Long Ago…

Christian children were taught to forgive quickly and to leave justice to God. They learned that loving their enemies showed that Jesus lived in their hearts.

💡 Think About It:

  • Has anyone ever hurt your feelings?
  • What did you do? What do you think Jesus would do?

✨ Let’s Pray:

Jesus, help me be kind even when others are mean. Give me a loving heart that doesn’t want to fight back. Amen.

🧢 Kingdom Kids Devotional — Day 35

Rooted & Raised

“Let your yes be yes, and your no be no.”

— Matthew 5:37 NASB1995

🔦 Honest Words Matter

Jesus says we shouldn’t have to make big promises to prove we’re telling the truth. If we always tell the truth, people will trust our words. God wants us to be known for our honesty.

When you say you’ll do something, do it. When you say no, mean it kindly. That’s what it means to follow Jesus with your words.

🏛 Long Ago…

Early Christian children were known for their honesty. They didn’t make promises they couldn’t keep. They were taught to tell the truth the first time.

💡 Think About It:

  • Have you ever said you’d do something but didn’t?
  • How can you practice telling the truth every day?

✨ Let’s Pray:

Jesus, help me be honest in everything I say. Let my words be full of truth and kindness. Amen.

🧢 Kingdom Kids Devotional — Day 34

Rooted & Raised

“If your eye causes you to sin, take it out…”

— Matthew 5:29 (Paraphrased)

👁 Eyes That Obey

Jesus isn’t really telling us to hurt ourselves—He’s showing us how important it is to run away from things that lead us to do wrong. If a video, game, or toy makes you want to disobey, it’s better to stop using it than to let it control you.

Jesus wants your heart to be full of good things, and sometimes that means saying goodbye to things that hurt your heart.

🏛 Long Ago…

Children in the early church learned to say no to things that pulled them away from Jesus. They chose truth and walked in light, even when it was hard.

💡 Think About It:

  • Is there something I watch or play with that leads me to disobey?
  • What would Jesus want me to do about it?

✨ Let’s Pray:

Jesus, help me know when something is not good for me. Give me strength to stop doing things that make me sin. Amen.

🧒 Kingdom Kids Devotional — Day 33

Rooted & Raised

“Do not look at someone in a wrong way…”

— Matthew 5:27–28 (Paraphrased for children)

👀 Eyes That Please God

Jesus teaches us that it’s not just wrong to do bad things—it’s wrong to think about them in our hearts. God sees everything, even what we look at and think about!

He wants our eyes and thoughts to be clean and kind. We should look at others with love and respect—not in a way that makes them feel bad or like an object.

🏛 Long Ago…

Children in the early church were taught to treat others with honor. They learned early that thoughts matter to God, and He helps us have clean hearts.

💡 Think About It:

  • Are there pictures or shows you shouldn’t watch?
  • How can you use your eyes to honor God?

🙏 Let’s Pray:

Jesus, help me use my eyes and thoughts to show love. Keep my heart clean and full of Your truth. Amen.
