If your child is holding onto an unkind moment from today, this episode helps them lay it down. It takes Psalm 7:15 and its gentle picture of trouble circling back, then reminds them they never have to get even, because God makes things right. At home, you might say, you can set this down now, God has it. Let their hands unclench and their heart soften, and let sleep come easy.

Questions Kids Ask

Do kids have to get even when someone is unkind?

No. Psalm 7:15 shows how the trouble people dig for others usually circles back on them, like falling into your own hole (Psalm 7:15). That means your child never has to get even, because God takes care of making things right in His own good way.
