Devotional illustration Have you ever had something stolen from you and didn't realize it?
Tip: read the verse out loud and say a short prayer together as a family.

📖 “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.”

— John 10:10

💡 What does this mean?

Jesus is telling us that He came to give us a full and complete life, a life filled with joy, love, and purpose.

There are things that try to steal our happiness, like fear, sadness, or bad decisions 😔.

But Jesus came to fill our hearts with His love, give us hope when everything seems difficult, and show us the way to a better life. ❤️

🤔 Let's think for a moment

Imagine your heart is like a garden 🌼.

If we take care of it with Jesus' help — praying, forgiving, and doing good — beautiful flowers will grow: peace, joy, love, and faith.

But if we let in bad things like anger or lies, that garden withers.

Jesus wants to help you keep your heart full of life and good things 🌿.

🌈 What can we do today?

Thank Jesus for the life He gives us every day 🙏.

Take care of our heart by staying away from what harms us.

Share joy and love with others: a smile, a kind word, or help can be seeds of life.

Phrase to remember

“With Jesus, my life has purpose, joy, and abundance.” 🌻

🙏 Final prayer

“Lord Jesus, thank you for coming to give me abundant life.

Help me to take care of my heart and to live with love, faith, and hope.

I want to follow You every day and share Your light with others.

Amen.” 💖
