Who is God?

                   
A teacher in California asked her 8-year old bright students to write an essay to explain who is God to them. One of the students wrote this: “One of God’s jobs is to create people. He makes these people to replace those who die. This way there will be enough people to manage the world. But God does not create old people only, but also babies. I think since they are little, it’s easier for God to create them. This way God does not need to waste precious time to teach them how to read and write and walk, because He entrusts their parents to teach them these duties. The second most important thing God does is to listen to our prayers. This is a never-ending job for Him, because some people like priests and nuns pray all the time, not just before they sleep. Because of this, God does not have any time to listen to the radio or watch some television. Jesus is the son of God the Father. He did many difficult things, like walk on water, do miracles and teach the people who did not believe in God. But when they got bored hearing Him talk and preach, they killed Him. However, having a kind heart Jesus told His Father to forgive them, because they did not know what they were doing. And God said ‘OK!’ The Father was happy with the work Jesus was doing on the earth, and one day He told Him that he doesn’t need to work anymore, but come up to heaven with Him. And now Jesus stays in heaven listening to the prayers that people say, and He helps everyone from up there. When I am afraid in the dark, I just have to remember that God is there with me, and I stop worrying. That’s what I believe about God.”
