🧒 Kids Devotional — Day 75

Rooted & Raised

“Some people will say to Jesus, ‘Lord, we did good things in Your name!’ But He will say, ‘I never knew you.'”

— Matthew 7:22 (Paraphrased)

😕 Knowing About Him Isn’t Enough

You can go to church, sing songs, and even talk about Jesus—but do you know Him in your heart?

Jesus wants to be your best friend, not just someone you hear about. That means talking to Him, listening to Him, and doing what He says.

🧠 Think About It:

  • Do I really know Jesus?
  • How can I grow closer to Him today?

🙏 Let’s Pray:

Jesus, I want to know You—not just do things for You. Help me walk with You every day. Amen.

“Not everyone who says, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom, but the one who does what God wants.”

🙋‍♀️ Actions Speak Loudly

When you obey your parents, tell the truth, or share with others, you’re doing what makes God smile. He sees your heart and your actions!

🌟 Kingdom Tip:

Saying nice things is good—but doing the right thing shows your love for Jesus.

💬 Think About It:

Jesus, help me to do what pleases You. I want to follow You with my heart and my actions. Amen.

Rooted & Raised

“You will know them by their fruits.”

— Matthew 7:20 (Paraphrased)

🍌 People Show Who They Are

Jesus says you can tell who someone really is by what they do. Just like we know a tree is an apple tree because it grows apples!

If someone is kind, gentle, honest—that’s good fruit! And you can grow that too by staying close to Jesus.

🌟 Kingdom Tip:

Let Jesus help you grow fruit people can see—like sharing, helping, and telling the truth.

💬 Think About It:

  • What fruit did you show today?
  • Who can see Jesus in the way you live?

✨ Let’s Pray:

Jesus, help me grow fruit that shows I belong to You. I want others to see You in me. Amen.

“If a tree doesn’t make good fruit, it gets chopped down.”

— Matthew 7:19 (Paraphrased)

✂️ Fruit or Firewood?

Jesus says trees that don’t grow good fruit are cut down. That means it matters what kind of life we live! He wants our lives to show love, kindness, and truth.

🌟 Kingdom Tip:

Good choices are like growing good fruit. When we follow Jesus, we grow something beautiful.

💬 Think About It:

  • What good things did you do today?
  • What would Jesus say about your fruit?

🧒 Kids Devotional — Day 71

Rooted & Raised

“A good tree gives good fruit. A bad tree gives bad fruit.”

— Matthew 7:18 (Paraphrased)

🍎 Fruit from the Heart

Jesus says we’re like trees. If our hearts are good, we’ll do good things! But if we’re mean or selfish, that shows something is wrong inside.

🌱 Kingdom Tip:

Ask Jesus to help your heart stay soft and full of love. That’s how you grow good fruit!

💬 Think About It:

  • What kind of “fruit” did you show today?
  • Did it help or hurt others?

Jesus, help my heart be like a good tree. I want to grow love, kindness, and truth. Amen.

“Watch out for people who look kind but want to trick you. You can tell who they are by what they do.”

— Matthew 7:15–16 (Paraphrased)

🐺 Not All Sheep Are Safe

Jesus says some people pretend to be good, but really, they want to hurt others. They act nice—but their actions tell the truth.

🍎 Kingdom Tip:

Look at what someone does, not just what they say. A kind heart shows in kind actions.

💬 Think About It:

  • Has someone ever acted nice but did something mean?
  • How can we be sure to follow good examples?

✨ Let’s Pray:

Jesus, help me see what’s true. I want to follow people who really love You. Amen.

🧒 Kids Devotional — Day 69

Rooted & Raised

“The road that leads to life is narrow, but the wide road leads to trouble.”

— Matthew 7:13–14 (Paraphrased)

🛣 Two Roads

Jesus tells us there are two roads: a big, busy one that lots of people take—but it leads to trouble. Then there’s a smaller road, harder to find, but it leads to life!

🎈 Kingdom Tip:

The right way isn’t always the popular one. Following Jesus means sometimes saying no to what everyone else is doing.

💬 Think About It:

  • Have you ever had to choose the right thing when it was hard?
  • What helps you follow Jesus even when others don’t?

✨ Let’s Pray:

Jesus, help me choose the narrow road. I want to follow You, even when it’s tough. Amen.

Think about someone you love. Would you try to give them something nice? Of course! And God, who loves even better than anyone, wants to give you good things too.

Can you name some of the good things God has given you?

What is something you’re thankful for today?
