Bible Story
Have you ever heard someone say that no two people are alike? It is true. Even identical twins are not exactly alike. They can point out all sorts of differences between the two of them. People are different not only in appearance, but they have different personalities, different likes and dislikes and each person has a unique purpose for their life
Today, our story is about Jeremiah, who learned a valuable lesson about people, and about God who created them.
