Bible Story:
John 1:35-50In this passage we see Jesus calling His disciples to follow Him. Even before He came to earth, He knew who His disciples would be. He knows each one of us in the same way. Because God is our Creator, He knows the number of days we will live and He has a perfect plan for those days. Just as Jesus knew His disciples even before they left everything to follow Him, we are known by God.
Story:
Creation
God created everything. Everything we see, hear, feel, taste, and that exists was created by Him. Not only did He create everything, but He created everything perfectly, including humanity. He created mankind in His very image and likeness to reflect His worth. All of creation was made just like He wanted and designed it to be. To His delight, God looked at everything He made and declared that it was good. All creation exists for God, is good, and was created to bring Him glory.
