Child of God
A Story of
God's Love
I know a little
girl who told of an occasion when another child made fun of her, telling
her, “You don’t have any friends and no one likes you.” This little
girl bowed her head and thought about the words she had just heard, and
then responded with the sweetest answer, saying, “It doesn’t matter if
no one likes me, because I’m a child of God, and He loves me.”
There was a
child of God born many years ago, a baby named Jesus. The baby Jesus
grew into a man and died for our sins, and on the third day, He rose from
the dead! Jesus provided a way for every person to also become a
child of God, by asking Jesus into your heart. You can read the stories
about Jesus in the New Testament.
During the
Christmas season, remember that you are a child of God and that He loves
you. No matter what others may say, no matter what you may think
about yourself, you can know that you are a child of God, and He loves
you – “For great is your love, O Lord, higher than the heavens, your faithfulness
reaches to the skies.” Psalm 108:4
Making Your
Own "Child of God" Crown
Cut a 4 inch
strip from a piece of white construction paper, cutting from one side to
the other. You'll have a pretty long strip, because it needs to fit
around your head.
Using scissors,
shape the top of the 4 inch strip. If you want a crown with
points, cut shapes that look like W's. Or you can cut wavy lines
across the top of the 4 inch strip.
Put the crown
around your head to measure the size the crown should be. Cut the
paper to the right size, leaving enough space to overlap and staple it
together, after decorating.
Decorate the
crown with glue and buttons, yarn, sequins, markers or crayons, macaroni,
rice, beans, or anything around your house.
After the glue
dries, staple the two sides together and wear. This crown can remind
you that you are a child of God.

In the front
of your Bible, you will find a Table of Contents that lists each book of
the Bible. The Bible is divided into
“Books”. Each book will have chapters and verses. For example,
when you see Matthew 6:9, Matthew is the “book”, 6 is the “chapter”, and
9 is the “verse”. The chapter number is characterized by a
BIG numeral, and the verse will be the smaller numeral. The Bible
is divided into two sections - the Old Testament and the New Testament. |
