God Made You

Genesis 1:26; Psalm 139:14

Our true story comes from a book, or part, of the Bible called Genesis. The word genesis means “the beginning.” Our story also comes from a book of the Bible called Psalms. The word psalm means holy song (or special song).

Do you know who made the earth? Yes! God did. We can read all about how God made the earth in the Bible.


Do you know who made the animals? That’s right! God made all the animals, too. God made every piece of grass, every flamingo and every bunny, and every single giraffe.


God put the sun in the sky, He made the moon and the stars, and He made the mountains REEEALLLY tall! And it was ALL good. Everything God made was good.


But there is something He created that is more special than everything else. Do you know what it is? Take one finger and point at YOU! God made you. People are His most special creation. God made you special. There is no one else like you. It’s true.


God has made each and every one of us completely special, one of a kind! We all have different hair, skin, and eye color. Some of us wear glasses. Some of us ride in wheelchairs. Some of us are really tall, and some of us are small. God made us just the way we are. He made some of us amazing singers and some of us fast runners. Some of us like to read. Some of us like to paint or draw. Some of us like the play basketball or t-ball, or dance! Some of us love animals.


We’re all different! And we are completely, amazingly, and wonderfully made. You are the most super, special, best thing God created! But do you know why God made YOU as His most special thing? Because He LOVES you so, so much!



Bible Paraphrase: Nothing at all can ever separate us from God’s love. — Romans 8:39, NIrV

Text Truth: God made me, and He loves me.



Family Devotional

I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. – Psalm 139:14

Our Bible story was about how God made you! And because God made you, He loves you very much. Who loves you? God loves you!

Nothing at all can ever separate us from God’s love. — Romans 8:39, NIrV

We learned that God made us. And because God made us, He loves us very much. With your family, make a list of your favorite things about your bodies. Think about your body. What is your favorite part? God made your feet to run, and a brain to think, and a tongue to taste yummy food.

Pray with your family. Allow any family members to pray if they wish. In your own words, acknowledge to God that He did a wonderful thing when he made you and your family. Share with God your family's list of favorite things about your bodies that God made. Thank God for His love and acknowledge to God your love for him.

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

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...
