It is sin! That is what this DARK bead reminds us of. Sin is anything you think, say, or do that does not please God, like lying, cheating, being selfish, or hurting others.
The Bible says:
"All have sinned and come short of the glory of God." --- Romans 3:23
That means everyone, big or little, young or old! No matter where you live or who you are, you have sinned. Everyone is born with a "want to" to do wrong. God says that sin must be punished (Romans 6:23), and the punishment for sin is to be separated from God forever in a place of suffering....a place called Hell.
But God has a wonderful plan so that you will not have to be punished for your sin!
