Object: A clean sheet of white paper, and a sheet of white paper with crayon scribbles on it.

Lesson: When we make mistakes, God will give us a fresh start if we ask him.

If you were trying to draw a picture and messed up, you would want to start over, wouldn't you? (Hold up paper with scribbles.) Looks like someone made some mistakes here. Looks like he messed up a little bit. Do you think whoever started drawing this picture would like to start over? Do you think he would like to try again?

If this was your paper (hold up paper with scribbles), would you want to draw your new picture on it? No, no one …
