In Church this Sunday we recognise that children choose to follow Jesus and enrol two boys aged 7 and 11 as Junior Soldiers. This is the Junior Soldier promise – but it is a promise that everybody can male to God however young or old you are. Think about it wouldn't the world be a different place if everybody made this simple but profound promise.
"Having asked God for forgiveness, I will be his loving and obedient child. Because Jesus is my Saviour from sin, I will trust him to keep me good, and will try to help others to follow him. I promise to pray, to read my Bible and, by his help, to lead a life that is clean in thought, word and deed. I will not smoke, take harmful drugs or drink alcoholic drinks."

We also reflect on the truth that whatever and however life is going God is unchanging and we, that is all of us are loved forever unconditionally! That's totally off the planet and mind blowing but IT IS TRUE!
