Things that we cannot fix
I am sure you guys are very clever and brilliant. Aren’t you? You children are smarter than the past children. I mean, you guys learn more, think more, and play more than old people did in their early age. Do you proud of that?
However, I am so sure that there is something you cannot solve. You people have lots of problems in your life. Why? That is because you are a person than God. You are limited. You cannot live by the time as much as you want to live. You are sometimes ill. You have accidents without alarming.
Your relationships make problems much in your every day life. Family, friends, people you do not know make you upset by ugly relations. People make you feel lonely than happy. Some times, your feature, your health, your dream, and your friends come up as your problem.
In that time what would you do for your self? I want to say that when you face difficult moment, we must come to Jesus to tell all about that.

Woman who has been ill very long time
I would like to introduce a woman who has been ill very long time. I guess she has no family, no friends, and no neighbors who care about her. Why? I know that there are many who asked on behalf of their family, friends, and neighbors. They were Jairus, a leader of the local synagogue (Mark5:22-23), four men carrying a paralyzed man (Mark2:3), and a gentile woman begging her daughter’s recovery (Mathew15:22).
Now you can imagine how this woman was lonely, sad, and miserable. She never was welcomed by others because she is not pretty, healthy, and wealth. She has taken care of herself without others’ help.
One day she heard about the power of Jesus. She believed in Jesus as the Son of God as many who met Jesus before. She kept thinking this: “If I can just tough his clothing, I will be healed.”
The trustful mind let her be healed by doing that. She did follow her belief and met Jesus. She experienced the power of Jesus. Is not amazing? What is the point here is that if you trust in Jesus and come to Jesus, you will get the answer from Jesus.

Trust in Jesus’ power
Trust in Jesus’ power, kids! Some one would say that I still am not sure that Jesus is the one I should believe in. Let me say this. Jesus died for you. Jesus wants you to believe in him so that he can help you and protect you from all the evil events. If you look at the Bible carefully you will find that Jesus is your savior and friend.
What is important today is that you trust in Jesus. I mean, trust in the Love God through Jesus Christ. I am sure that Jesus is the one who God sent for us and the one who obeyed God fully.
I want you to get along Jesus Christ every day, every moment. Jesus will talk to you about your problems. Then you will not be disturbed by those difficulties anymore. But you will be with joy and thanks to God.
Jesus’ power is your strength as long as you trust in him. When you are close to Jesus, you will not feel disappointed or abandoned anymore. He is your friend. Isn’t it good for you then?
You say this: “I believe in Jesus and his power. I trust him as my savior and friend.”

Let’s Pray.
God! We thank you for Jesus, Your Son. We are pleased by the promise that Jesus will empower us when we trust in him. Please help us to be strong in this world. I pray in Jesus’ name. Amen.
