As we prepare in our churches for the summer time camps and activities, my prayer is that we ( all Children's Pastors and Directors) keep our absolute focus on the purpose of the hype and fun things we do.
Sharing Jesus Christ and who He really is with children is such a delicate and yet simple task. It is delicate because it must be shared in the light of fun, joy, happiness and peace...these are things children love and understand. It is very simple...because Jesus' love is simply given. It is simply available, and simply shared, simply proven and simply found.
I want to give children the brightest glimpse possible of who Jesus is...and who He can be in them, for them and to them.
How can I do this? By allowing Him to shine through me. By allowing the love light of Jesus to truly burn bright in my everyday life.
I fall so short of this every time, so I keep praying for the Lord to help me get it together and keep it together...not for me, for them....
VBS season is here....pray it up...plan it up....laugh it up....sing it up....dance it up....but most of all....love it up! Love them....show them love....give them love....share His love....have fun through, by, with, from and for His love!
