Read Together
Jeremiah 16:2 (ESV)
"You must not marry and have sons or daughters in this place."
Talk About It
God told Jeremiah not to have a family, showing how the whole community would be affected by the people’s choices. Our actions don’t just impact us—they touch our friends, family, and others too. When we make selfish or wrong choices, they can hurt people around us. God asks us to choose what’s right, knowing our decisions matter and can help or hurt others.
For Parents to Explain
God, help us remember our actions affect others. Forgive us when we do wrong and hurt someone. Give us wisdom to show Your love in how we live. Amen.
