    The little girl lay on her bed, eyes wide open, looking at the twinkling stars. She had a question that only God could answer.

    With a deep breath, she asked aloud, 'God, are you there?' The room fell silent. She was waiting for a response.

    Suddenly, the stars started to twinkle brighter than before. The girl gasped, wondering if God was trying to communicate with her.

    'God, is that you trying to get my attention?' She asked, her heart pounding with excitement.

    In her imagination, Jesus appeared. He smiled at her and said, 'Yes, little one, I am here. I always am.'

    'I want to know how I came to be,' the little girl asked. Jesus, with a gentle smile, decided to tell her a story.

    'Once upon a time, there was a beautiful garden called Eden,' Jesus began, 'In this garden, the first humans were created.'
