📖 “For by Him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created through Him and for Him.”

— Colossians 1:16 (NIV)

🟡 What does this mean?

This verse tells us that Jesus created everything that exists: what we can see and what we cannot see.

He made the sky, the earth, the animals, the stars, the people… everything!

And not only did He create it, but He did it for Himself, which means our life has meaning when we live for God.

We were created by Jesus and for Jesus.

🧠 Let's think for a moment

Have you ever done something with a lot of effort, like a drawing or a craft, and kept it because it was special to you?

That’s how we are to Jesus: He created us with love and so that we can be close to Him.

That means our life has a very great purpose.

🙌 What can we do today?

Thank Jesus for creating us and giving us life

Live in a way that pleases and honors Him

Remember that all the good we have comes from Him

Use our talents and time to serve God and others

💬 Phrase to remember

👉 I was created by Jesus and to live for Him.

🙏 Final prayer

Lord Jesus, thank You because You created me with love and gave me a purpose. Help me to live each day for You, using my life to show Your love. Teach me to remember that all I am and have is a gift from You. Amen. 🙏
