When we do something wrong, our hearts feel sad. But when we tell God we are sorry for disobeying Him, He says, &#8220;I forgive you and I will help you do the right thing.&#8221; The BLOOD of JESUS washes all our sins away.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #333333;\">2. \u2764\ufe0fHe heals all our diseases. God made us and heals us when we get sick. He is our GREAT HEALER.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #333333;\">3. \u2764\ufe0fHe saves us from death and the grave. When someone who loves Jesus dies, Jesus makes that person come alive again and gives them a brand new healthy body in heaven where he or she will live forever with God. No more sickness. No more death.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #333333;\">4. \u2764\ufe0fHe crowns us with love! Imaging yourself wearing an invisible crown of love! It is with you all the time and everywhere you go! His love will NEVER leave you.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #333333;\">5. \u2764\ufe0fHe makes us happy with good things.
