mathew 25:34-36

"Then the King will say to those on His right hand, 'Come , you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: for I was hungry and you gave Me food; i was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took me in; I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prision an you came to Me.'"

"Jesus explains that he will reward those who help people who are hungry, thirsty, needy, sick, or in prison. The King in the story stands for God. Taking caare of hurting people is so important to him that when you care for the needy, you're giving directly to God. You may wonder how you can help the poor and homeless. Maybe you could volunteer with your family to serve a meal at a shelter. Or you could collect toys for children who don't have any. There are lots of ways you can help people less fortunate than yourself. Ask your mom or dad to help you get involved. Everybody is precious to Jesus, and he wants you to love them too. Ask God to show you ways to help the needy."

Revelation 1:8

"'I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End.' says the Lord, 'who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty."

"God is so big that you can give yourself a headache wondering just how big he is. Some adults who have studied God for a long time say the more they learn about him, the more they realize how much more there is to learn. That's kind of cool. You can never fully understand everything about God-and that's a good thing. He's mightier, greater, and more powerful than anyone could ever dream. He's been around forever, is around right now, and will be around in the future. Thank God for his majesty and that he's always there."
