God makes plans and follows through with them—including the plan to send Jesus to rescue us! We can show commitment too. We can work on growing our relationship with Jesus by practicing our faith.

Heritage Little KIDS Curriculum (Nursery and Preschool)
God shows us daily how much He loves us in how He speaks to us through the Bible and listens to us when we pray. God’s never-ending love for us is so amazing that we should be moved to talk about God to others and live for God in all we say and do.
Virtue: TRANSFORMATION
Bottom Line: God loves me.
Memory Verse: “I will always love you.” Jeremiah 31:3, CEV
