God Loves Us More than Anyone Else Can Ever Love Us

Hi! My name is Grace! I have amazing news to tell all the children of the world.

God loves us! Well, you might ask, "How do you know?’’ I know because the Bible shows us how he loves us more than any other human being on this earth loves us.

What is the Bible? The Bible is a book full of stories, poems, and letters that are God’s words to everyone who reads it. Did you know that the Bible is the best-selling book in the world?

The Bible says God’s love is never ending and perfect (Psalm 100:5; 1 John 4:18). He loves us more than our families and friends love us. Wow—that’s amazing!

God says he will take care of us (Matthew 6:26). Even if our parents stop taking care of us, God will always take care of us (Psalm 27:10). Even if other people don’t love us, God will always love us.

I have a mom and dad who live on earth, but I also have a Father who lives in heaven who will NEVER leave me (Deuteronomy 31:6), and he’s your Father too! Our Father in heaven knows everything about us (Psalm 139:1–4). Wow—that’s good to know!

God loves children (Mark 10:13–16) and takes special care of children who don’t have any parents (Psalm 68:5). In fact, children have holy angels who stand before God in heaven and talk to him (Matthew 18:10). Angels are strong, mighty servants of God, who created them. There are thousands and thousands of angels in heaven (Hebrews 12:22). You can’t see them, but they can see you, and these angels are working for God and for you and me!

My grandma used to say to me, God is love, and he loves you. God’s love never goes away. It never ends. And when bad things happen to me or other people, I remind myself of God’s love.

I have other amazing news to share too! And I have plenty of stories to tell about my family and friends.

God Created Me with Talents

God says I’m fearfully and wonderfully made. He thought of me and who I would be before I was born (Psalm 139:13–16). The Bible teaches us that God is the creator of heaven and earth and everything in them, including you and me (Genesis 1:1).

God created me with love and divine thought. That means he created me above what any human mind can understand and above any human love (Isaiah 55:8–9). I know this because I’m unique. That means I’m special, one of a kind. I may look like my parents and even my sister, Coco, and my brother, Chris, but I was born to make a difference in the world. I was created, which means I was made to be me! Isn’t that awesome?
