God Knows Me!

Psalm 139:1-4; Matthew 10:30

Our true also story comes from a part of the Bible called Psalms. The word psalm means holy song or special song. Our true story also comes from a part of the Bible called the Gospel of Matthew. Matthew was a disciple of Jesus. That means Jesus was his teacher. And the word gospel means “good news!”

God knows everything about you! He knows your name. He knows what makes you laugh and what makes you cry. He knows when you wake up in the morning and when you go to bed at night.


The Bible says that God sees you when you sit down and when you stand up. He hears every word you say—even before you say it!


Jesus said something amazing: God knows how many hairs are on your head! That means God cares about every little part of you.


You are never alone. God is always with you, and He knows exactly what you need. You are very special to Him!


God knows everything about me! He sees me, hears me, and loves me all the time. I am never alone because God is always with me.


Dear God,

Thank You for knowing all about me. You know what I think, how I feel, and where I go. Thank You for always being with me and for loving me. Help me remember that I am never alone. We love You, God.

In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.


Bible Verse: “Be imitators of God, therefore, as beloved children, and walk in love, just as Christ loved us.” — Ephesians 5:1-2a, BSB

Paraphrase: “You are God’s child. Show love like Jesus did.”



Activities

These activities help preschoolers engage with the story through movement, crafts, music, and storytelling, making the lesson fun and memorable.


1. Finger Count Discovery

Objective: Help children understand that God knows even the smallest things about them.

Materials: None.

Activity:

Ask each child to hold up their hand and count their fingers aloud together. Then say, “Did you know God knows exactly how many fingers and toes you have? He even knows how many hairs are on your head!” Let children gently count fingers and toes on a doll, stuffed animal, or themselves.

Talk About It: “God knows everything about you—because He made you and loves you!”


2. Where Am I? Game

Objective: Reinforce that God sees and knows where we are, always.

Materials: A small blanket or towel.

Activity:

Play a simple hiding game. One child hides under the blanket while the others guess who’s hiding. After each round, say together, “We couldn’t see you—but God could!”

Talk About It: “Even when we can’t see someone, God always knows where they are and loves them!”


3. God Knows Me Song

Objective: Celebrate God’s personal love and knowledge through music.

Materials: Rhythm instruments (optional: shakers, drums, tambourines).

Activity:

Teach children this simple tune (sung to the tune of “Mary Had a Little Lamb”):

        “God knows me and God loves me,
        God knows me and God loves me,
        God knows me and God loves me—
        Every single day!”

Encourage clapping or instruments. Repeat with joyful energy!

Talk About It: “Isn’t it wonderful that God knows your name and everything about you?”


4. Draw Yourself!

Objective: Help children reflect on the truth that God knows and loves them personally.

Materials: Paper, crayons or markers.

Ask children to draw a picture of themselves. Invite them to share one thing about themselves that they like—such as their smile, hair, or favorite activity.

Talk About It: “God knows all about you, and He made you just right!”

The Early Christians Shared Everything

Image
Acts 4:32-37 Our story comes from a book of the Bible called Acts. That name is short for “the Acts of the Apostles.” The word "Apostle" is another word to describe a helper of Jesus. Our Bible story tells us about some people who loved Jesus. The people were gathered together in a room. Buzz, buzz, buzz. The room filled with talking and laughter. The people called themselves Christians because they did what Jesus Christ said to do (Christian means "follower of Christ"). The Christians knew that Jesus was God’s Son. They wanted others to know about Jesus, too. Grandmas, grandpas, moms, dads, and children met together in homes. They would pray, sing, and learn about Jesus together. All these people loved Jesus. They were like one big, happy family. Because they loved Jesus, the Christians happily shared what they had more than others. Everything a person had was happily shared with the rest of the Bible-time Christians. They shared food so every...

Abraham and His Family Moved to a New Land

Image
Genesis 12:1-9 Our story comes from the book, or part, of the Bible called Genesis. Genesis means "the beginning." A man and woman lived in a land called Ur. The man was named Abram and the woman was named Sarai. Abram and Sarai were husband and wife. God called Abram and Sarai and gave them new names! Abram means “nobel father.” But God changed his name to “Abraham,” which means “father of many.” Sarai” means “princess.” But God changed her name to “Sarah,” which means “mother of nations.” Now they were Abraham and Sarah, "father of many" and "mother of nations!" Abraham grew up in the land called Ur. When he was grown, Abraham moved with his family to a new land called Haran. But then, in the land of Haran, God appeared to Abraham and told him to leave his country. God told Abraham to move to a new land. God promised to be with Abraham and show him where to go. God also promised to give Abraham children, grandchildren, and many g...

Jacob and Esau

Image
Genesis 27:41a; 32:9-21; 33:3-11 Our story comes from the book, or part, of the Bible called Genesis. Genesis means "the beginning." The Bible tells us about two brothers, Jacob and Esau. Jacob and Esau were twin brothers. They were the sons of Isaac and the grandsons of Abraham. Jacob and Esau were born at the same time and were the same age. But Esau was a couple of minutes older than Jacob. Because Esau was the oldest son, he would someday receive a special blessing from their father. That was very important. One day, Jacob tricked his father Isaac into giving Jacob the important blessing instead of Esau. Esau was very mad. Esau was so angry that Jacob became afraid. Jacob decided to move away from Esau. So he packed up his things and traveled to another land. Even though God didn’t like what Jacob had done to Esau, God still blessed Jacob. God gave Jacob a large family and many animals. After many years, God told Jacob it was time to g...
