Like a Super-Stable Toy

You know how sometimes your toys can get dirty, broken, or even lose their parts? But God is like the most special toy ever, one that stays just as perfect and strong forever. No matter what happens around Him, like people getting upset, or the world shaking, He remains calm and steady.

A Parent Who Never Changes

Think of your mom or dad when they're really happy, they smile a lot. When they're sad, they frown. But God is always happy, not because He doesn’t feel things, but because His happiness never goes away. It's like having a parent who always loves you, no matter what.
