God does see every single thing we do. He even knows what we think! God is omniscient, a big word that means all-knowing. God sees the good things we do - those things please Him. He also sees the bad things we do - those things displease God. God wants us to do the right things, like telling the truth, being helpful, using kind words, forgiving people who hurt us, and obeying our parents and teachers. God sees us make right choices and is pleased when we follow Him instead of other kids who want us to do wrong.
