Kathryn's Essay: About God

Kathryn came home with this essay yesterday. She had written this in school and we didn't know she'd been working on it till she shared it with us. I've typed it verbatim, spelling and all-- and there aren't many typos! Did I know what incomprehensible meant when I was 7? Don't think so!

"God is Jesus, and Jesus is God. He has three names. God the father. God the son. And God the holy spirit. God loves us and takes care of us. Lets learn some characteristics of God.

God is incomprehensible. Incomprehensilble means you can't understand it.

God is trustworthy. Trustworthy means you are able to trust him.

God is just. Just means you always do the right thing.

God is questionable. Questionable means we are always asking questions about him.

Now that we'v talked about some characteristics of God. Let's talk about how we should treat God.

We should treat God with respect. Respect means that we should not say bad things about him. And we should love him.

We should treat with obedience. Obedience means that you obey him.

Now we've talked a little about that.

Now I'm going to get serious. Now were going to talk about what it means to become a child of God. When you confess all the wrong things you'v done. And ask him to live in you and to help do the right thing. Then you become a child of God. When you become a child of God, the holy spirit lives in you. When you become a child of God it gives you great joy. You want to share that joy with other people. So do it!

You can start going to chrch. Chrch is a place were you worship God. You can read God's holy book the Bible. Now remember be a light to others. Start your life with God right now. And if you have any questions come see me at my house in Ballwin, Missouri 63021."
