We hope you enjoy discovering how God led people in earlier days, and continues to seek hearts of all ages to walk in righteous, caring ways and show love to all people and creatures of all ages.  
Sometimes people think children shouldn't bother adults.  But Jesus said, "No, let them come here.  They are precious."  And he told them stories, too.
Here is the song - Jesus Loves Me
Jesus loved even the untouchables - the lepers who lived alone.  He came and healed them.  One came to give thanks.
When Jesus was returning to Jerusalem for the last time, he stopped at his dear friends house.  Lazarus had died 4 days earlier.  Jesus wept.  Then he went to the tomb and called Lazarus to arise.
Jesus came to us to die for us.  We do wrong things.  He didn't.  God led Him to the cross to bring hope to all of us.
Jesus was wise beyond his years.  When he was 12 he lingered at the temple and taught the scholars.  His parents thought he was with their group when they started to go home.
After a night apart Jesus returned to his disciples in the boat walking on water.  At first they were afraid.  When Peter realized it was Jesus, he hopped out of the boat to meet him.  When he looked at the waves, Peter sank.  Jesus rescued Peter.  
Here are other some songs of faith. 
The story of God doesn't end here.  It starts new as the church is born, and his followers carry His message to others.  
Christ's followers prayed for 40 days until the Holy Spirit came.  3000 people became believers that day.  This is called the birth of the church.  
The followers started seeing God's healing power in response to their prayers, too.  Peter and John meet a man crippled from birth. 
Paul  and Silas were friends.  They were imprisoned for sharing the faith.  An earthquake broke the prison walls, and God set them free. 
The story of God will continue throughout history.  He lives and works through all.  Will you join in God's Army?  
Here is a prayer that can help you start walking with Jesus every day.  

Dear Jesus, I am young, but I know you love me.  Thank you.  I sometimes do harmful actions and sometimes I really want things MY WAY.  This is not right.  I am sorry.  I want to try to do things YOUR WAY - that is showing love to everyone.  You care about our thoughts and our deeds.  Sometimes I think mean and unkind thoughts, too.  Help me live my life with a clean heart and mind.  Help me show love to others and spend time talking to you everyday.  I love you Jesus.  Come live in my heart.  

With Jesus in your heart, your prayers can bring hope, healing and peace to others.  Start talking to Jesus about things happening in your family, with your friends, in school, in your church.  Try to find a church if you don't have one.
