Complete the sentences with various statements: "I Know My PARENTS Love Me Because..." and "I know God Loves Me Because..." and "I Love God Because..." Have your child list inside each heart how they know you love them and how they know God loves them and then why they love God (you may need to assist your younger child by writing for them). Allow them to come up with their own ideas. If your child has difficulty expressing ways that God loves them don't worry. Use this exercise as an assessment tool to determine their understanding of God's love. By the end of the week, your child will have a clearer understanding of God's love and it will become valuable to them in the days to come.

Parents: You may need to ask leading questions to help your child discover ways you show love to them and ways God demonstrates His love to them. Encourage them to list as many ways as possible. Click here for a printable version.
