Fixing Your Eyes on the Promises (2 of 7)

Hebrews 11:22
CHILDREN'S STORY: When we get done here I PROMISE you I'll give you a sucker. Do you know what a promise is? A promise is when someone tells you they're going to do something... and then they do it. Now a promise is about something that will happen LATER. You parents will say ''I promise we'll go outside... but not right now) (they've got to get your clothes on); or ''I promise we'll go to the store... but not right now'' (you have to take a nap first); or ''I promise we'll go to the playground... but not right now'' (they've got to get some chores done first). They want you to know that when they're ready... they WILL take you outside. It's a promise! Well, God gives US promises too. The Bible is filled with promises God makes for us. He promises He'll never leave you or forsake you. He promises that He'll take you to cool places where you'll enjoy yourself; He promises He'll protect you (especially when you're afraid); and He promises He'll always listen to you. The difference between God's promises and mine or your parents is that I might make you a promise, and then not be able to do it. Or I might make you a promise... and then FORGET! Do you think God would ever forget a promise? Of course not! God always keeps His promises.

They dragged him through the snow and for 30 minutes and they hit, kicked, and beat him, stuffed him into a tree, and finally suspended him on a seven-foot wrought-iron fence. He never stood a chance. Nadin survived the attack and probably would have faced more beatings except that one of the bullies filmed it... and posted it on YouTube. The police saw the video, and the bullies were thrown in jail. Then the story reached ...
