Matthew 5:40

Matthew 5:40

Little Bible — for children and parents · Growth Figures · © Growth Figures. All rights reserved.

Jesus calls His followers to radical generosity that disarms conflict. Rather than fighting over possessions, a disciple freely offers more than demanded — demonstrating that things don't have ultimate value.

Memory phrase: Be more generous than expected

Talk about it: What is something you own that you would find it hard to give away? What if God asked you to?

Prayer: God, help me hold my things loosely. Help me be generous even when it's hard.
