I am up to 12 Sparkies on Wednesday nights. Praise the Lord!! Tonight my devotion was taken from 1 John 2:2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for our's only, but also for the sins of the whole world.
Last week I gave a devotion using a pumpkin and I explained to the kids that we should be a shining light for Jesus. I had one child ask me how to be saved. I was so nervous, but I explained it the best I could and one kid jumped in and said "He forgave ONE of my sins." I have thought this week that that would make a perfect devotion for this week. So I decided to use this verse to explain that he forgives ALL our sins and he also forgives EVERYBODY'S sins. I was starting to get a little frustrated because Wednesday nights have been so crazy lately, but tonight was wonderful. I worked with 3 kids that were just wonderful. They quoted scriptures left and right. It is wonderful to hear the kids quoting God's word!!
I heard my baby quoting scripture last night and it melted my heart. Great job teaching.
ReplyDeleteWe had a trunk or treat at my church last week, and one of the women had little papers to give out to all of the kids about how we're like pumpkins, how God scoops out all of the nasty sin (like the seeds) and puts his light in us.. I LOVE that illustration, and I'm sure it's very powerful to your Sparkies!!
