SUMMARY (2-5 Minutes) God's great compassion and love for people was shown when He sent His Son Jesus to earth to live, die and be brought back to life. This made it possible for everyone, everywhere, to live with God forever. When we ask Jesus to live in us He makes it possible for us to know and love God; He helps us with our attitudes towards others. He helps us love ourselves and others just as they are. When you find it hard to accept and love yourself, your friends or family, ask Jesus to help you with your thoughts, feelings and actions towards others. When you find it hard to keep a promise, or when someone breaks a promise, ask Jesus to help you with your feelings and response. He will help you become a person of compassion, loving and caring for yourself and others.

When people make an individual, voluntary choice to ask Jesus to live in them, their understanding and attitudes change in ways that allow them to love God, themselves and others. God sends the Spirit of His Son into each individual who asks. The Spirit of God gives individuals the power and motivation to choose what is right.
