Janurary 1st: You Don’t Have to Prove Anything | Kids Devotional Carpooling with Jesus

Hey Carpool Crew… I’m Pastor Justin, and welcome to a brand new year. A new year can feel exciting—but it can also feel like a lot of pressure. Pressure to be better, smarter, faster, or more liked. Today, Jesus reminds us of something really important: you don’t have to prove anything.Matthew 5:3 (CSB) says,“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for the kingdom of heaven is theirs.”Jesus shared these words during the Sermon on the Mount. When He talked about being “poor in spirit,” He meant people who know they need God. Kids and parents who don’t have it all figured out—but trust Jesus anyway. And Jesus says those people are already blessed.You don’t earn God’s love by getting good grades, making the team, or being perfect. You start your day already loved. Even when you mess up, Jesus doesn’t walk away. Your worth is not tied to wins, losses, or mistakes.So today, do your best. Be kind. Try hard. But don’t beat yourself up if things don’t go perfectly. Jesus loves you before the day even begins.Remember, no matter where you are or how you’re listening, God loves you.Parents: If this episode encouraged your child, consider sharing Carpooling with Jesus with another family. It could become part of their daily routine too.Talk about it together: What’s one thing you feel pressure to be the best at right now?🍏 Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/4gUygJo🎧 Spotify: https://bit.ly/SpotifyPlus✨ Subscribe on Spotify: https://bit.ly/SpotifySubscribe📱 Instagram: https://bit.ly/InstagramCPWJ🚗 Facebook Community: https://bit.ly/CPWJFBChristian kids podcast, Bible stories for kids, kids devotional podcast, Jesus podcast for children, short Christian podcast for kids, podcast for kids in the car, faith-based podcast for children, Christian content for school mornings, daily Bible podcast for kids, morning devotions for families, Bible podcast for elementary kids, Jesus stories kids love, teaching kids about faith, helping kids follow Jesus, Christian parenting resources, raising Christian children, encouraging Christian kids, learning about Jesus for kids, Christian media for families.
