I Belong

Day 1 – BELONG

Read or practice reciting 1 John 4:4
List out every place you belong… anything you learned this year. Look back at Month 4 to remember if you need to.

Day 2 – WHAT HAVE YOU LEARNED

Go back and see how you have grown this year. Look back at what you wrote down Month 1, Week 4, Day 2 about where you belong. Think about how much you learned and write down anything that stands out.
Is there any place you know you belong now that you did not know then? Are you encouraged how much you have learned?

Day 3 – TELL SOMEONE WHERE YOU BELONG

Grab your parents or anyone that believes in Jesus. Show them what you have written in your book about where you belong. It is good to let others know what you believe so they can help keep you accountable to who you are and where you belong!

I PROMISE YOU…

God promises that once you believe in Him you will always belong with Him. Nothing you or anyone else does can keep you from Him. Read Romans 8:35-39.
Can anything ever separate us from Christ’s love? Does it mean He no longer loves us if we have trouble or calamity, or are persecuted, or hungry, or destitute, or in danger, or threatened with death? “No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us. And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

Day 4 – MAKE SOME GOALS

Where you belong is a huge part of your identity. God promises that you belong in Christ. Today make some goals on how you can put yourself in places you belong. Look back to the list you made at the end of Month 4 of all the places that God says you belong?
Is there any place you are spending time that you don’t belong?
How can you leave where you don’t belong?
How can you spend time this year doing things with God’s body (other believers)?
Are you with the type of friends that God wants you to spend most your time with?
On earth, you belong in your earthly family. How can you spend more of time with them?
What are some ways you can keep your eyes on Jesus?

Day 5 – SHOW WHERE YOU BELONG

Last week you were challenged to share what you believe. This week your challenge is to show others where you belong by your actions. Look back at the list you made from Month 4 and write down some ideas about how your actions can show others you belong in the following ways:
GOD’S FAMILY:
GOD’S CARE:
GOD’S LIGHT:
IN HEAVEN:
