You Are Important to God

Luke 12:7; John 3:16

You are important to God. You are so important to Him that He knows all about you.


Touch your hair. How many do you think are on your head? Try to count your hair. There are a lot! Do you know who knows how many hairs are on your head? God! The Bible says you are so important to God that He knows everything about you.


You are so important to God that He knows what you had for breakfast.


He knows your favorite toy. If you like to ride a bike, He knows.


If you like to play with dolls, He knows.


If you like to play with blocks, He knows! You are so important to God that He cares about every single thing about you.


The Bible says God loves you so much that He sent His one and only Son, Jesus, to be your friend forever. We are important to God because God made us.



Bible Paraphrase: I am fearfully and wonderfully made. – Psalm 139:14, NIV

Text Truth: I am important to God.

Family Devotional

“Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.” – Luke 12:7

 Our Bible story was about how you are important to God. God made you. That makes you very important to Him. And God did a wonderful job making you. Our Bible verse says so. 
I am fearfully and wonderfully made. – Psalm 139:14, NIV

We are important to God. We are so important to God He even knows how many hairs are on our heads! We are so important to God that He sent His Son, Jesus, to be our friend forever.

 With your family, make a list of your names. Write down the name of every family member.

 Pray with your family. Allow any family members to pray if they wish. Thank God for making each member of your family: "Dear God, thank You for making (name of family member)." Ask God to help each family member know how important they are to God. Acknowledge that God loves each of them so much that He sent His Son, Jesus, to be their friend forever.

The Early Christians Shared Everything

Image
Acts 4:32-37 Our story comes from a book of the Bible called Acts. That name is short for “the Acts of the Apostles.” The word "Apostle" is another word to describe a helper of Jesus. Our Bible story tells us about some people who loved Jesus. The people were gathered together in a room. Buzz, buzz, buzz. The room filled with talking and laughter. The people called themselves Christians because they did what Jesus Christ said to do (Christian means "follower of Christ"). The Christians knew that Jesus was God’s Son. They wanted others to know about Jesus, too. Grandmas, grandpas, moms, dads, and children met together in homes. They would pray, sing, and learn about Jesus together. All these people loved Jesus. They were like one big, happy family. Because they loved Jesus, the Christians happily shared what they had more than others. Everything a person had was happily shared with the rest of the Bible-time Christians. They shared food so every...

Abraham and His Family Moved to a New Land

Image
Genesis 12:1-9 Our story comes from the book, or part, of the Bible called Genesis. Genesis means "the beginning." A man and woman lived in a land called Ur. The man was named Abram and the woman was named Sarai. Abram and Sarai were husband and wife. God called Abram and Sarai and gave them new names! Abram means “nobel father.” But God changed his name to “Abraham,” which means “father of many.” Sarai” means “princess.” But God changed her name to “Sarah,” which means “mother of nations.” Now they were Abraham and Sarah, "father of many" and "mother of nations!" Abraham grew up in the land called Ur. When he was grown, Abraham moved with his family to a new land called Haran. But then, in the land of Haran, God appeared to Abraham and told him to leave his country. God told Abraham to move to a new land. God promised to be with Abraham and show him where to go. God also promised to give Abraham children, grandchildren, and many g...

Jacob and Esau

Image
Genesis 27:41a; 32:9-21; 33:3-11 Our story comes from the book, or part, of the Bible called Genesis. Genesis means "the beginning." The Bible tells us about two brothers, Jacob and Esau. Jacob and Esau were twin brothers. They were the sons of Isaac and the grandsons of Abraham. Jacob and Esau were born at the same time and were the same age. But Esau was a couple of minutes older than Jacob. Because Esau was the oldest son, he would someday receive a special blessing from their father. That was very important. One day, Jacob tricked his father Isaac into giving Jacob the important blessing instead of Esau. Esau was very mad. Esau was so angry that Jacob became afraid. Jacob decided to move away from Esau. So he packed up his things and traveled to another land. Even though God didn’t like what Jacob had done to Esau, God still blessed Jacob. God gave Jacob a large family and many animals. After many years, God told Jacob it was time to g...
