The greatness of God

In the group last week we talked about the greatness of God. The girls were asked to find something outside that would show the greatness of God. Two of them brought an ant, and one brought a flower. When they were going to explain why we were surprised of their reflextions. We told them to write it down. Here is what they wrote:

"The ant is like God, it never stops working to reach its goal. The ant never gets tired, like God, because God never gets tired of making a difference in our lives. Because God is good".

 "In life we start like a seed: we are small and fragile, and need special care. We start growing and blooming. Nothing represents this better than a flower. The flowers wither when they are taken away from the place, their root. We are also like that when we go away from the path of God. But this doesn't mean that we loose our value. God will come close to us until he wins us over again. This is what represents the greatness of God, that we are so small and even so He loves us".

“A formiga representa nós, que elas segue os caminhos delas como nós. Nós também temos que seguir os nossos caminhos e existe só um caminho e o nosso caminho é Deus, como a formiga nunca descança assim é Deus, Deus também se ele ver um filho dele na pior ele batalha pra ver o seu filho feliz e na boa.” The ant represents us, they follow their path in life like us. We have to follow our path, and there is only one path which is God. Like the ant that never gets tired, God never get tired. If his child is not doing well He will fight to see His child happy".
