God Made Me

Genesis 1:27; Psalm 139:13-14

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

We begin with . . . YOU! God made you inside and out. That’s what today’s story is all about.


Put your hands on your head. God made your head. God made your head wonderful! Say, “God made me wonderful.”


Let’s talk about something else God made. Pat your tummy. This is where your food goes. God made your tummy, and God made it wonderful. Say, “God made me wonderful.”


Stomp your feet. God made our feet! God gave us feet with wiggly toes. Wiggle your toes and your feet.  God made your feet wonderful! Say, “God made me wonderful.”


God made every part of you. Your hands . . .


. . . your feet . . .


. . . your mouth . . 


. . . and your eyes! God made your eyes. God made some eyes brown, some eyes blue, and some eyes green. Some people even have one brown eye and one blue eye! God made all of our eyes, and that’s wonderful! Say, “God made me wonderful.”


Tap your nose. We all have different noses, and God made us all wonderful! Say, “God made me wonderful.”


Point to your hair. God made your hair. Some people have straight hair. Some people have curly hair. Some people don’t have hair at all! We all have different kinds of hair, and God made us all wonderful! Say, “God made me wonderful.”


Thank You, God, for making us wonderful! So, when anyone asks you, “Who made you wonderful?” Say, “God made me wonderful!”

Family Devotional

For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.
—Psalm 139:13-14

In our Bible Story, we learned that God made everyone, and how God made you is amazing and wonderful! That’s why when someone asks you: “Who made you wonderful?” you can say “God made me wonderful!”

How you made me is amazing and wonderful. —Psalm 139:14, NIrV

With your family, take a piece of paper and make a list of the names of your family. Have each member of your family write down their name on the paper. And if you have some star-shaped stickers, place a sticker by the name of each family member, because God made them wonderful!

Pray with your family. Allow any family members to pray if they wish. In your own words, say, “Dear God, You are amazing and wonderful, and You make amazing and wonderful people. You made [family member’s name] wonderful! You made [family member’s name] wonderful! You made . . . (say this with each family member’s name). I pray that we always remember that how You made us is amazing and wonderful. We love You, God. In Jesus’ name. Amen.”

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

Jesus Knew All about Nathanael

John 1:43-49 Our story comes from the Bible. It is found in the part, or book, of the Bible called John. John was one of the special helpers of Jesus. Jesus traveled to many places to help people and tell them about God. But Jesus wanted some helpers as He traveled and talked about God. Jesus was visiting a town called Bethany. He decided to go to another town called Bethsaida, near a lake called Galilee. Before Jesus left Bethany, He met a man named Philip. Philip was the kind of helper Jesus wanted. So, Jesus told Philip, "Follow Me." Philip was excited about being Jesus' helper. He went to find his friend Nathanael. Philip found his friend Nathanael sitting under a fig tree. It was a nice shady place where Nathanael could study. He liked to study the Scriptures, God's Word. Philip said, "Nathanael! I just met the person Moses talked about long ago. He's the one all the Scriptures tell about—God's Son! It is Jesus from
