What does God care about most, explained for kids?
Psalm 12:8 notices that people sometimes cheer for the wrong things, like being famous or winning no matter who gets hurt (Psalm 12:8). But God celebrates different things: kindness, honesty, and people who love and help others. Picture Him smiling when you share or include the kid sitting alone, because loving God and loving others matters most of all.
