Genesis 2:20

Genesis 2:20

Little Bible — for children and parents · Growth Figures · © Growth Figures. All rights reserved.

Animals are wonderful, but they cannot fully meet the human need for companionship. God made people uniquely for each other.

Memory phrase: God knew what Adam needed.

Talk about it: Why do you think no animal was a perfect companion for Adam?

Prayer: God, You know exactly what I need. Thank You for providing for me.
