Once upon a time, there was a man named Paul. He loved Jesus very much. Paul wanted to tell everyone about Jesus’ love. So, he went on a big journey to many places.
Paul traveled on boats and walked on dusty roads. The sun was hot, and sometimes the wind blew strong. But Paul was not afraid. He knew God was with him like a warm, bright light that never goes away.
One day, Paul met people who had never heard about Jesus. They looked curious and a little scared. Paul smiled and said, “Jesus loves you very much!” His words were like sunshine on a cloudy day.
Sometimes, people did not want to listen. They were angry and did not understand. Paul felt sad but kept going. He prayed, “God, please help me to be brave and kind.” And God helped him every time.
Paul visited towns and cities. He told stories about Jesus’ kindness and how Jesus helps us when we are afraid. People’s hearts began to feel happy and full of hope, like flowers blooming in spring.
One night, a big storm came while Paul was on a boat. The waves jumped like wild horses, and the wind roared like a lion. Everyone was scared. But Paul said, “Don’t be afraid! God will keep us safe.” And God did keep them safe, just like a strong shield.
After many days, Paul reached a new city. He told the people there about Jesus’ love and how Jesus died and came back to life. Some people believed and smiled with joy. Others had questions, and Paul was happy to answer.
Paul’s journey was long and sometimes hard. But he never stopped telling about Jesus. He wanted everyone to know that Jesus is our friend forever. Paul’s heart was full of love and hope, shining like a bright star in the dark night.
“Why do you tell everyone about Jesus?” asked a little boy.
Paul smiled and said, “Because Jesus loves us all, and I want everyone to feel that love in their hearts.”
And so, Paul kept traveling, sharing the wonderful news of Jesus’ love, lighting up the world like a beautiful rainbow after the rain.
