GOD HAS CHILDREN
God loved the things he had made. But he had no children to share them with him. In all the earth, there was no one like himself, no one to say, “How beautiful it is!” To have a companion on earth, God needed someone like himself. So he made our kind of creature and he made it in his own image. God loved Adam and Eve so much that every evening at the close of the long, happy day, he came into the garden and talked with them. And then — new joy on earth! — the man and the woman answered him. It was the moment God had waited for since time began. “At last,” he thought, “I have my children.” By Mrs. Billy Graham, “Our Christmas Story,” in Ladies’ Home Journal
