Empowering Young Minds with Bible Verse Affirmation Cards
Share
We believe in grounding our lives and the lives of our children in the teachings of the Bible. One powerful tool to help our young ones bring scripture into their heart is through Bible verse affirmation cards. These cards, adorned with inspiring and comforting verses from the Bible, can help children and young people develop a strong spiritual foundation.
Bible verse affirmation cards are small, beautifully designed cards that feature encouraging Bible verses. These cards can be used daily to remind children of God's love, God's promises, and guidance. They serve as a practical way to instill the word of God in young minds, helping them navigate life's challenges with faith and confidence.
We have listed out, what we believe, are 4 main benefits of our affirmations cards.
First, is spiritual growth. When we regularly read and reflect on God's words it helps children understand and grow in their faith. It can reinforce the teachings they receive in Sunday School and at home.
Second, it is a positive, scripture based affirmation that can boost your child's self-esteem and sense of worth, reminding them that they are valued and love by God.
Third, it's a great way for memory verses! As they learn verses from scripture, the hope is that they can recall it in times of need.
Lastly, it can help build your child's moral compass. Many of the verses we have used have to do with how to deal with oneself and with others. i.e. the importance of building each other up in godly ways 1 Thess 5:11
Below are some of the key bible verses that we believe are perfect for affirmation cards for children and young people. Many of these we have included in our packs for children, boys and girls:
- 1 Thessalonians 5:11: "Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as you are doing."
- Jeremiah 29:11: "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end."
- Philippians 4:13: "I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me."
