MOPPETS Devotion - 8/29

A New Start!

Fall is here!  Time for school to start!  Time to get ready! 
Lots of shopping to do!  New shoes.  New lunch box.  New backpack.  New pencils and crayons.

The first day of school is special.  Exciting! 
New teacher.  New children.  New classroom.  A chance to start over.

With God, we can start over anytime.  We do not have to wait for fall.  When we've done something wrong, we can ask God to forgive us.

Because of Jesus, God erases our sins, just like an eraser cleans a chalkboard at school.  The Bible says, * "If anyone belongs to Christ, then he is made new."  We can have a new life with Jesus any day!

* 2 Corinthians 5:17
