Growing Into Who God Made Me

Growing into Who God Made Me
Bible Devotions About Faith, Growth, and New Starts

What does it mean to grow—not just taller, but deeper on the inside?

Growing into Who God Made Me is a gentle, Bible-based devotional created especially for children in early elementary grades and the parents, grandparents, or caregivers who read alongside them. Designed for family devotion time, this book helps kids discover who God made them to be and how God lovingly helps them grow, one day at a time.

Each devotion invites families to slow down together, open God’s Word, and talk about big ideas in a way kids can understand. With simple language, warm encouragement, and stories from Scripture woven throughout, this book helps children see that faith grows the same way they do, step by step, with patience and care.

This devotional gently explores themes like:
• Growing in faith
• Trusting God with new beginnings
• Learning from mistakes
• Becoming kinder, braver, and more loving
• Remembering that God is always at work

Written with young hearts in mind, Growing into Who God Made Me reassures children that they don’t have to be perfect and they don’t have to grow all at once. God is patient. God is kind. And God loves them exactly as they are while helping them become who God created them to be.

Inside these pages, families will find:
• Short, easy-to-read Bible devotions
• Bible memory verses chosen for clarity and encouragement
• Gentle explanations that spark meaningful conversations
• Truths that help children understand identity, growth, and God’s love
• A calm, reassuring tone that works well for bedtime, morning, or quiet family moments

This book is perfect for:
• Family devotion time
• Parents and children reading together
• Early elementary classrooms or children’s ministry
• New Year devotions or fresh-start seasons
• Helping kids talk about faith, feelings, and growing up

Rather than focusing on goals or resolutions, this devotional reminds children that God is already at work in their lives. God grows their faith just like God grows flowers, trees, and people slowly, lovingly, and on purpose.

Through each devotion, children are reminded:
God made you on purpose.
God is helping you grow.
And God will never give up on you.

Whether your family is starting a new year, beginning a new routine, or simply looking for a meaningful way to connect around God’s Word, Growing into Who God Made Me offers a comforting, hope-filled guide for growing together in faith.

This is a book about growing.
About learning.
About becoming, together, the people God made us to be.
