Read through Romans 6:8-14; cross out the following words: died, death, dead, die, sin, evil, master, rule.

What an amazing gift God’s grace is to us! Death is no longer, and instead, we can experience eternal life, God’s power and freedom!

Knowing Jesus changes the way you see others, and the way you see yourself too. Instead of seeing yourself as the most important, you realize you should put others first.
All day today, put your focus on others. Instead of taking the bathroom first, let your sister have the mirror. When you want the last bowl of cereal, let your brother have first dibs instead. Instead of waiting for your mom to remind you to pick up your dirty clothes, put them in the hamper on your own.
Ask God to help you see others as worthy of honor.
