John 4:18

John 4:18

Little Bible — for children and parents · Growth Figures · © Growth Figures. All rights reserved.

Jesus knew everything and revealed it without cruelty. He was not exposing her to shame — He was showing her He saw her fully. Real love sees everything and still stays.

Memory phrase: Jesus knows everything about us — and still loves us.

Talk about it: Jesus knew the woman's whole story — the sad and broken parts. How does it feel to know that Jesus knows everything about you and still wants to talk to you?

Prayer: Jesus, You know everything about me — every mistake, every broken thing. And You still love me. Thank You.
