Long, long ago, before there were any people, God was already there. God has always been, and He always will be.
God is so full of love that He wanted to share it. So He made people! He made the very first man and woman, Adam and Eve. And one day, God made you.
The Bible tells us that God made people in His own image. That means we are a little bit like God: we can think, we can choose, and best of all, we can love.
Look at your hands, your eyes and your smile. There is nobody else in the whole world exactly like you! God did not make you by accident. He made you on purpose, and He knows your name.
Why did God make you? To know Him, to love Him, and one day to be happy with Him forever in heaven.
