"Let's see, there's ...

• A cow on the roof
• Christmas lights on the bush
• A kid is giving candy to the homeowner
• A jack-o-lantern carved into a watermelon
• The sidewalk leads to a window, not the door
• An airplane is flying upside down
• A dog is up in a tree and a cat is on the ground
• There's an elephant in the house
• And there's a fish swimming in the lawn."

"Can you find anything else that's wrong?"

"No, but I bet God can."

"God?"

"That's right. He sees inside everyone's heart and knows all about the wrong things we do."

"Ohhh, those things."

"Yeah, sometimes we disobey our parents and our teachers and we're not always nice to our friends and our family."

"But we do more good things than bad things, don't we?"

"It doesn't matter. Even if we only do one thing wrong, we're still guilty. The Bible says ..."

"For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it." James 2:10

"God must hate us then."

"No, He loves us very much. The Bible also says ..."

"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." John 3:16

"God sent Jesus to die for our sins because He loves us and then He rose from the dead so we can go to Heaven."

"Wow! What do I need to do?"

"Just turn from your sin and trust Jesus as your Lord and Savior."

"How do I do that?"

"You can talk to God now. Just say something like this ..."

"God, I am sorry for the wrong things I have done. I now turn from my sin and place my trust in Jesus to be my Lord and Savior. Amen."
