Luke 12:7 Our true story comes from a part of the Bible called the Gospel of Luke. Luke loved Jesus and wanted others to know and love Jesus, too. And the word gospel means “good news!” Did you know that God cares about you all the time? He cares when you’re happy. He cares when you’re sad. He even cares when you’re just being quiet or silly or sleepy. God loves everything about you! Jesus once told His friends something amazing. He said, “Even the hairs on your head are all numbered.” That means God knows everything about you—even how many hairs are on your head! Can you count all the hairs on your head? No way! There are too many! But God knows, because He is always watching over you with love. Jesus told His friends not to be afraid, because God was always with them and cared for them very much. If God cares about birds and flowers and little things, then He really cares about YOU! So, if you ever feel worried or left out or scared, remember: God sees you. God knows you. And God tak...

That’s what God’s family does! Sometimes they ate together in their homes. Sometimes they went t...
