Talks With the Tiny Ones

MY dear little children, did you ever think as you use your active little feet and hands, or your bright eyes, or ready tongue, how you came to be so wonderfully made? Who made you? I think I hear you answering, “God made me.” Yes, He did indeed, and of what did He Make your soft flesh, and strong bones; the hair which covers your head, and the blood which runs through your veins? Does it seem strange to think—He made it all of dust? Could any man do that? Oh, no, only God; but how great and how wonderful He is. How different from the strongest or biggest or wisest man in the world. He is called the Creator. Can you remember that hard word? I will tell you what it means. A Creator is one who makes things out of nothing, and only God can do that. Men can make very strange things, but then they cannot make them of nothing. If a house is to be built, we see bricks, and mortar, wood, and nails, and many other things brought to the spot where the men are working, but when God made the world, He only had to speak and it was done. The Bible says, “By the word of the Lord were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of His mouth; For He snake and it was done.” Psa. 33:6, 96By the word of the Lord were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth. (Psalm 33:6)
9For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast. (Psalm 33:9). Now, God did not only make the great big world, with its mountains and valleys, its oceans, and lakes, its tall trees, and tiny flowers, but He made you, and how wonderfully He did it. Did you ever think of how kind it was of God to give you eyes to see with, and ears to hear with, a tongue for talking, feet to run about on, hands to use for working or playing, and so many other things. I could not name them all. Yes, it was the great and good God who made all these, and not only did He make you, but He takes care of you all through the bright, busy day, and all through the dark, silent night, and best of all, He loves you so well, that He has provided a way by which you can come and live with Him forever, for “God so loved the world, (and that takes in you, little child) that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him, should not perish, but have everlasting life.” John 3:1616For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. (John 3:16).
