Being
Like Jesus:
children's prayers to help us see with his eyes, feel with his heart
Christmas
is Jesus’ birthday. But even more than a birthday, Christmas
reminds us that God became a human being just like us, with eyes
and ears, with a mouth and hands, with a heart and feet. God lived
here on earth and used his body just as we do. He ate and drank,
he loved and cared for people, he laughed and cried, he looked at
beautiful things, and became sad when he saw others’ hurt
and pain. God knows what it is like to feel like we do.
When
we celebrate Jesus’ birth every year at Christmas, we remember
that there is always someone who understands what we’re going
through. Jesus knows. Jesus listens to us. Jesus cares for us. Jesus
loves us. And, that’s a birthday present that Jesus gives
us! The prayers below are a present that you can give to Jesus this
year!
