<strong>Gò0dNews</strong> for Kids Romans 5:3-5 It’s No Big Deal to Lose Come on, Jimmy!" yelled Brad as he picked up his ball and glove. "It's time to go." "I don't want to go," replied Jimmy. "What do you mean, you don't want to go You've got to go because I'm taking care of you and I'm playing ball." "I don't like to play ball," said Jimmy. "What's the matter with you" his older brother said. "Last week you pestered and pestered me because you wanted to play ball with me and my friends. Now I ask you to play, and you don't want to." "I just don't want to," answered Jimmy. "If you don't play, I don't get to play," said Brad. "Mom said I had to take care of you today. Come on, let's go!" Jimmy was quiet for a while. Then a tear rolled down his cheek. "Hey, what's wrong" asked his big brother. "I'm no good. I can't play ball," said Jimmy. "Last week you told me you were going to play for the Giants when you grew up," said Brad. "But I struck out twice," said Jimmy. "And I dropped the only catch that came to left field." "Is that so bad" asked Brad. "Your friends laughed at me. They called me a klutz." "So what" said Brad. "They're all four years older than you are. Do you think they'd look so good if they played on a high school team" "I guess not," said his little brother. "You'd be the best player on the team if you played with the little kids in daycare," said Brad. "Maybe I should play with them," said Jimmy. "Then I could win all the time." "Sure, you might win," said Brad, "but you wouldn't learn to play ball any better. It's no big deal to lose if you play against a better team. That's how you get better at playing ball." Jimmy went along to play ball with Brad and his friends. He still made some outs, but once in a while he hit the ball. He still dropped the ball sometimes, but he also caught it once in a while. Jimmy learned how to play ball-and he also learned something else. He learned that he didn't have to be the best at everything. God had given him the ability to do 8 // January 2015 some things. But God also gave other people the ability to do other things. Jimmy learned to do what he couldwhen he could. When he couldn't do something, he learned to depend on someone else. Some Questions • Can you learn something when you make a mistake • Do you think you should be able to do everything right • How can you help someone who makes a mistake A Prayer Jesus, help me know what I can do, and help me learn to do those things better. Help me know what I cannot do. Amen.
