A Christian preacher one day asked a little girl, “Are you worth anything?”
“No,” she replied.
“Then why does Mother keep you?” he asked again.
“Oh, ‘cause Mama loves me,” came back her bright answer.
Why God loves us so? We do not know, except to say that love is His nature, for “God is love.” 1 John 4:88He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. (1 John 4:8). But we do know that He does love us.
JESUS loves the little children,
All the children of the world:
Red and yellow, black and white,
All are precious in His sight;
Jesus loves the little children of the world.
Jesus died for little children,
All the children of the world;
Red and yellow, black and white,
All are precious in His sight:
Jesus died for all the children of the world.
