Teaching Searching the city with a lantern

God always notices you - even when you think nobody is looking.

  • Have you ever done something tiny when you thought no one was watching? God still saw, and He still loved you. How does that feel?
  • The people let little things slowly crowd out the big God. What things sometimes get all of your attention - a screen, a toy, a game?
  • A warning from someone who loves you is a gift. When has a grown-up warned you about something, and you were glad later that they did?
