Have You Seen Jesus?

By April Craig

(Based on a true story)

This story took place in the USA.

Boy and grandmother walking outside together

It’s too hot. I think I’m going to melt!

Don’t worry, we’re almost there.

Boy and grandmother standing in the wind

The wind feels nice.

This is much better!

Boy and grandmother talking in tent

Grandma, do you love Jesus?

Yes! I love Jesus a lot.

Boy and grandmother talking in tent

Me too. I just wish I could see Him. Then I’d know He’s real.

Oh sweetheart, Jesus is very real. He’s a real person, like you and me.

Boy and grandmother hugging

But how do you know? Have you seen Jesus?

No. But I feel Him every day.

Do you remember the wind we felt while we were walking?

Boy and grandmother imagining the wind

It felt so good! I was really hot, but the wind was cool.

We can’t see the wind. But we can feel it. And even if we haven’t seen Jesus, we can still feel His love.

Boy and grandmother imagining flowers

How can we feel Him?

I feel His love when I look at His beautiful creations. I see His love in the flowers.

Boy and grandmother imagining a river

I see His love in the rivers He created.

Boy and grandmother hugging

And I see His love when I look at you!

Boy and grandmother lying in sleeping bags

Can I help you look for Jesus again tomorrow?

Of course!
