Telling the Truth

Taking Care of Others

“Seek good, not evil” That was God’s message the prophet Amos delivered to the people of Israel. God saw that some people were being selfish and not taking good care of others. But when they received this message, they did not want to listen.

Sometimes, it is hard to listen to God’s messages because they tell us to change and sometimes we don’t want to change. But when we are able to lay down our pride and open our hearts wide, God will show us the truth and God will help us to change.

We hope you enjoy this week’s story!
