There once lived a man in Israel 🇮🇱 named Elisha who loved 🥰 God very much. Before becoming a prophet, Elisha worked on a farm with lots of oxen. 🐂 One special day, another prophet named Elijah came and chose Elisha to be his helper and learn about God's wonderful ways.
Elisha was excited to follow Elijah and learn about God. He watched 👁️and listened 🦻carefully, wanting to be a good helper. When Elijah was taken up to heaven in a magical chariot of fire, 🔥 Elisha was sad 😞 but brave. He knew God had a special plan for him.
Sometimes, Elisha had to be very strong 💪 to protect God's message. One day, some mean 😤 children were making fun 🤭 of him and saying unkind things. Elisha knew this was wrong. He prayed 🙏 to God, and God sent two big bears 🐻 🐻 to scare away the children. This taught them to be respectful and kind.
Elisha could do amazing things because he trusted God. He helped a poor widow by making her tiny bit of olive oil fill many, many jars. 🫙 She was able to sell the oil and pay 💰 her family's bills! People saw how much God loved 🥰 them through Elisha's kindness.
Another wonderful story was when Elisha helped a sick 🤒 little boy who wasn't breathing. 😮💨 He prayed 🤲 to God, and a miracle happened - the boy came back to life! This showed everyone how powerful God's love could be.
People came from far and wide 🗺️ to ask Elisha for help. He always listened and tried to help them, showing God's love 💕 to everyone he met. Elisha taught people that God cares about them and can do amazing things.
