The Boy Who Forgave Quickly

For Kids and families

The story

Michael's friend had said something hurtful at recess. Michael carried the sting home like a stone in his pocket. That night, he prayed with a shaky voice, "God, my heart hurts. Help me forgive like You forgive me." The next day, Michael took a deep breath and talked to his friend. They said sorry and meant it. The heavy feeling inside Michael lifted. He felt light and free—as if his heart could breathe again.

The moral

Forgiveness heals the heart.
