God loves children with a special tenderness, and He wants even the youngest to know how precious they are to Him. These verses are for children, simple and true, to help a young heart know that God made them, loves them, and is always with them.
What God says over children
“I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.”
You are fearfully and wonderfully made; God made you special.
“But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.”
Let the little children come to Me; Jesus loves children.
“Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.”
“Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.”
Jesus loves children so much that when others tried to send them away, He said, let them come to Me. You are never too young or too small for Jesus. He made you, He knows your name, and He is with you all the time, even when you are scared. You can talk to Him anytime; He always listens and He always loves you.
Dear Jesus, thank You for making me and loving me. Help me be brave when I am scared and kind to others. Thank You that You are always with me. I love You. Please help me follow You every day. Amen.
You were never meant to walk this alone
The family here will pray with you, and you can hear how Christ has met others in the same place.
Psalm 139:14 (fearfully and wonderfully made), Mark 10:14 (Jesus welcoming children), and Psalm 56:3 (trusting God when afraid) are wonderful, simple verses for children.
Does Jesus love children?
Yes, dearly. When people tried to keep children away, Jesus said, 'But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.' (Mark 10:14).
